Hello All,
I'm trying without success to read the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\StartMenuInternet\IEXPLORE.EXE\DefaultIcon
here is the code I'm using :
from winreg import *
from time import sleep
n = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\DefaultIcon', 0, KEY_READ | KEY_WOW64_64KEY)
t = (EnumValue(n,0))
print(t)
It fails with error:
Output:
FileNotFoundError": [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help
Try this:
try:
n = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\DefaultIcon', 0, KEY_READ | KEY_WOW64_64KEY)
except FileNotFoundError:
n = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\DefaultIcon', 0, KEY_READ | KEY_WOW64_32KEY)

Hi Wavic !
I tried but got same error... however, I can see by using regedit that the key is visible from 32-bit registry view and 64-bit registry view as well...
Look better in Regedit.
Under "StartMenuInternet" i have browsers not "DefaultIcon".
Test:
from winreg import *
key = OpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, r'SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\Google Chrome\Capabilities')
# Two way to read
name = QueryValueEx(key, "ApplicationName")
t = (EnumValue(key, 2))
Use:
>>> name
('Google Chrome', 1)
>>> t
('ApplicationName', 'Google Chrome', 1)
>>> name[0]
'Google Chrome'
>>> t[1]
'Google Chrome'

Actually you were right ! I was trying with an incorrect registry key path..
