Windows 10: Multiple Values for a single Local-Variable Second value be used as an alternative when...

Hello everyone. I use many services that use XDG mainly AI projects and these projects cache of XDG can be huge in size. The cache location can be manually defined with XDG_CACHE_HOME a user-variable. I was wondering, is there a way to define an alternative for an environment variable? If the first value was not available, try the seconds value, something like this.This is because I use Whisper for speech recognition, and Godot for making game, and I store the project whisper files in an external drive which the project is stored on it as well. meanwhile I don't connect this Drive to my syst

Use the value of Task Sequence Variable as the value of another Task Sequence Variable

Hi everybody,

Does anybody know whether it is possible to use the value of an Task Sequence Variable as the value of another Task Sequence Variable?

For example, TS variable A has the value of 8. And I want to use this as the value of variable Q.

What I did was Set Task Sequence Variable. I named it Q. And at value I entered %A%.

This didn't work. Apparently I am doing something wrong. Could anybody tell me what?

Kind regards,

Hasan

How do I copy the value of a Registry Key, or part of the value, using a .reg file?

Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.

To do that, you can use the Registry Editor's export feature to create a .reg file that contains the registry key or value you want to copy. Then you can modify the .reg file to change the registry key or value as needed.

To copy the value of a registry key, you can export the key and modify the exported .reg file to change the key name and value. For example, to change the "FeatureDisableKey" value to "FeatureEnableKey", you can export the following key:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Some\Key\Location]

"FeatureDisableKey"="some_unknown_value"

Then, open the exported .reg file in a text editor and change the key name and value to:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Some\Key\Location]

"FeatureEnableKey"="some_unknown_value"

To copy a part of the value of a registry key, you can use the REG_EXPAND_SZ value type, which allows you to include environment variables in the value. For example, to change the path to the application in the following key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Application\shell\open\command]

@=""Root_Directory\Some_Application.exe""

You can use the %ProgramFiles% environment variable to reference the Program Files directory on any computer. To do this, export the key and modify the exported .reg file to use the REG_EXPAND_SZ value type and include the %ProgramFiles% environment variable in the value. For example:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Application\shell\open\command]

@=hex(2):22,00,25,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,6d,00,46,00,69,

00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,25,00,5c,00,44,00,69,00,66,00,66,00,65,00,72,00,65,

00,6e,00,74,00,5f,00,41,00,70,00,70,00,6c,00,69,00,63,00,61,00,74,00,69,

00,6f,00,6e,00,73,00,5c,00,44,00,69,00,66,00,66,00,65,00,72,00,65,00,6e,

00,74,00,5f,00,41,00,70,00,70,00,6c,00,69,00,63,00,61,00,74,00,69,00,6f,

00,6e,00,2e,00,65,00,78,00,65,00,22,00,00,00

In the above example, the value of the "(Default)" registry value is set to "Root_Directory\Different_Application.exe". When the .reg file is merged into the registry, the "%ProgramFiles%" environment variable is expanded to the Program Files directory on the computer where the file is being merged. Note that the value is in hex format, which is required for REG_EXPAND_SZ values.

Once you have modified the .reg file to your satisfaction, you can distribute it to users for them to import into their registry by double-clicking on the file.
