I'm stumped. I'm trying to figure out how to edit the date for a registry
value when I don't know the exact key location that value appears under.

I know the value I'm interested in will appear somewhere beneath this key
(or one of this keys sub-keys):
SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}

I know the name of the value is "WakeUpModeCap".

I also know the data for this value should be "3", but could also be other
numeric values.



Can anyone help get me started? Thanks.

Got part of the way to an answer, but I'm going to repost, since my issue is
now in a different topic. My partial solution is that since I know the
approximate place in the registry where I need to make a possible change, I'm
exporting that key and all its contents, then editing the .reg file (since
it's a text file and since I know how to edit a text file), then importing
that key. Will post a separate entry about a better wat to edit the .reg file
than how I'm doing it now.
