Vista - add value

I am trying to add a value with a binary of 00,00,00,00 to the
Explorer key, but all this does is add a key under the explorer key.
WshShell.Run ("reg add
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\link=hex:00,00,00,00")

I would to add the value "link" to the explorer key with a binary of 00 00
00 00.
You can not do it with a vbscript because it will only write 4 bytes, that's
00 00 not 8 0s.
Need help.

Dim SH
Set SH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
SH.RegWrite "HKLM\Software\test1", CLng(0), "REG_BINARY"
Set SH = Nothing

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\link=hex:00,00,00,00
")that'sEach byte is 2 of the zeros, so 8 zeros IS 4 bytes.
Bytes are typically shown as 2-character hexadecimal
values that reprersent a number between 0 and 255:
00 A1 00 D0 FF

I doubt it all makes much difference, anyway. 4-byte
binary values are usually long integers, the same as
dword values. While binary is often used to "hide" text
strings or record long numeric lists, I don't remember
ever seeing a 4-byte binary value that was anything
more than a numeric value stored in a poorly-chosen
way. If you really want to store a numeric value it
would be easier to just store it as a dword value.

That's was easy!! Thanks it works great. Every where I look all I could
fine was that a vbscript could on write 4 bytes to a reg_binary.

That is true. The 00 00 00 00 is 4 bytes. The 00 00 is
actually 2 bytes. For some reason VBS defaults to writing
a short integer value (2 bytes) unless you force it to be
a long integer with CLng. If you want to write anything
more than that you can use the SetBinaryValue method
of StdRegProv. (Requires that WMI be installed and running.)
You can also try to construct a .reg file and merge it,
but that's a bit awkward.

Ok, Thanks for the info.
