Export registry value

[BlueMe]

I'm trying to save YM password from:

HKCU\Software\yahoo\pager
"Yahoo! User ID"="someID"
"ETS"="longstring..."

What I want, is to export the above two values to a .reg file.
I tried everything I know and found:

TextFile.WriteFromString

Psw = Button.GetState("btn_Psw");
	if Psw == 1 then
		YID = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\yahoo\\pager", "Yahoo! User ID", true);
		TextFile.WriteFromString(_DesktopFolder.."\\Yahoo! User Password.reg", YID, false);
	end

INIFile.SetValue

Psw = Button.GetState("btn_Psw");
	if Psw == 1 then
		ETS = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\yahoo\\pager", "ETS", true);	
		INIFile.SetValue(_DesktopFolder.."\\Yahoo! User Password.reg", "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\yahoo\\pager", ETS, ETS);
	end

As you can see, both metods are close but not good, because the .reg file I'm trying to create must contain:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 to be the first line and after this line, my exported values :(

I know the inside/out of registry editing, I'm not a noob, but this...
Also, I know you can export a key, using either reg.exe or regedit.exe but why not a value too

If I try to use TextFile.WriteFromString to write the ETS value to a file, all i get is garbage text. The only way I've found to properly write this value (ETS) is by using INIFile.SetValue, but that is just not enough, I can't form a complete .reg file.
I tried many other tricks but nothing worked, above is just some left-over code to show that I really tried :(



Put it simply, I need to know how to export these two values:
"Yahoo! User ID"
"ETS"

located here:
HKCU\Software\yahoo\pager

to a .reg file.

If I can't do it using AMS, maybe somenone knows of a command line utility, script, or whatever, wich exports registry values too, not only keys.

Thanks for taking the time to read my problem and sorry for this -not so well written- post.

Why Would you need to take this info?
you should already know this ?

and if you don't meaning your tring to steal peopls usersname and passwords
as most please have it sign them in auto.

[BlueMe]

Because I've made an utility for Yahoo! Messenger.

If I've wanted to steal the password, I could export the entire key:
HKCU\Software\yahoo\pager


So please, can we continue without insinuating things like that?

Does this answer your question:

don't see why this option is needed at all but your app looks really nice :yes
but yahoo already as this options and works very well.

Glad youy like it and thanks

It's for users who forgot their password but they still have enabled "Remember my ID and password".
If you want to reinstall your OS, then this option will be useful, at least to some.

So, can I get some help with this?

not sure how to call that key but don't yahoo encypt it?

[BlueMe]

Yes, it's encrypted but I don't need to decrypt it. Just simply, export those two keys as you would normaly do with a key using regedit.

why can't you just take the hole key?

- because saving all the settings could cause trouble with future versions of YM
- because i can't have the label "Save psw" and actually save a bunch of other information
- for user convinience
- for doing just what is suppose to do? (save password)

well get the key and then use just wants needed ? if they are reinstalling that it would be nice to have all the key settings back well this i just what i feel.

[BlueMe]

That won't do rexzooly, Yahoo changes stuff from version to version and I want to avoid all future problems.

get the registry values with AMS actions as normal, then build a text string from the values in the regedit format then save the text file as "anything.reg" now you have a exported set of keys

[BlueMe]

Now I have:

Psw = Button.GetState("btn_Psw");
	if Psw == 1 then
		ETS = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\yahoo\\pager", "ETS", true);
		YID = Registry.GetValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\yahoo\\pager", "Yahoo! User ID", true);

		TextFile.WriteFromString(_DesktopFolder.."\\Yahoo! User Password.reg", ETS, false);
		TextFile.WriteFromString(_DesktopFolder.."\\Yahoo! User Password.reg", YID, true);
	end

But how do I add the rest of the text?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\pager]
"ETS"=
"Yahoo! User ID"=

Also, YID appends to ETS because if I dont, I'll overwrite the first value, ETS
