Mortscript to change owner name

[Guest 3shirts]

I want a script that will change the owner name, run an app, then change it back.

I assumed this would work:

RegWriteString ("HKCU","ControlPanel\Owner","Name","Different Name")


Runwait( "\My Storage\Program Files\APP.exe" )


RegWriteString ("HKCU","ControlPanel\Owner","Name","My Name") [/codebox]

But while it does change that string in the registry ok, it doesn't seem to be enough. I looked in the reg and found a binary key which I assume is the name in hex so I tried this:

[codebox]RegWriteString("HKCU","ControlPanel\Owner","Name","Different Name")
RegWriteBinary("HKCU","ControlPanel\Owner","Owner","#####################################")
RunWait("\My Storage\Program Files\APP.exe")
RegWriteString("HKCU","ControlPanel\Owner","Name","My Name")
RegWriteBinary("HKCU","ControlPanel\Owner","Owner","#####################################")

Obviously with the #'s being the correct notation (which I found by manually changing the name and noting this value in the reg).

This seems to work for changing it but not changing it back! How can that be?
