After checking the link I got from Metulburr I came up to following code but still failed on

ValueError: Could not convert the data to the specified type.

import winreg as wreg

def newregkey():
    key = wreg.CreateKey(wreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Policies\\system")
    wreg.SetValue(key, 'NewSubkey', wreg.REG_SZ, 'LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy')
    wreg.SetValueEx(key, 'ValueName', 0, wreg.REG_DWORD, '0x00000001')
    key.Close()

can any one tell me what is wrong

wreg.SetValueEx(key, 'ValueName', 0, wreg.REG_DWORD, 1)
