Registry and data types

Can I only create REG_SZ data types from PowerShell while using the
registry provider?

I can't seem to determine whether one can create a REG_MULTI_SZ data
type, for example.

It depeneds on the -value value you supply:

# creates REG_SZ
New-ItemProperty -Name StringValue -Value 1 -Path HKCU:\Software

# creates REG_MULTI_SZ
New-ItemProperty -Name MultipleStringValue -Value ([string[]]("Power","Shell"))
-Path HKCU:\Software

# creates REG_BINARY
New-ItemProperty -Name BinaryValue -Value ([byte[]](1,2,3,4)) -Path HKCU:\Software

I knew I had this information somewhere:

PS C:\> $reg.SetMultiStringValue($HKCU,"PowerShellTFM\Key1\Key2",` I revised the registry chapter for the 2nd edition of Windows PowerShell:
TFM to include a lot more on the StdReg WMI provider.
