Manage the Windows registry

Many python developers think of registry keys as if they were python keys in a dictionary which is not the case. The windows registry is broken down into the following components:

Hives

This is the top level of the registry. They all begin with HKEY. - HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR) - HKEY_CURRENT_USER(HKCU) - HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE (HKLM) - HKEY_USER (HKU) - HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

Keys

Hives contain keys. These are basically the folders beneath the hives. They can contain any number of subkeys.

Values or Entries

Values or Entries are the name/data pairs beneath the keys and subkeys. All keys have a default name/data pair. It is usually "(Default)"="(value not set)". The actual value for the name and the date is Null. The registry editor will display "(Default)" and "(value not set)".

Example

The following example is taken from the windows startup portion of the registry: ` [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "RTHDVCPL"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Realtek\\Audio\\HDA\\RtkNGUI64.exe\" -s" "NvBackend"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NVIDIA Corporation\\Update Core\\NvBackend.exe\"" "BTMTrayAgent"="rundll32.exe \"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Intel\\Bluetooth\\btmshellex.dll\",TrayApp" ` In this example these are the values for each:

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Key and subkeys: SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun

Value:
  • There are 3 value names: RTHDVCPL, NvBackend, and BTMTrayAgent
  • Each value name has a corresponding value
salt.states.reg.absent(name, vname=None, use_32bit_registry=False)

Ensure a registry value is removed. To remove a key use key_absent.

参数:name (str) -- A string value representing the full path of the key to

include the HIVE, Key, and all Subkeys. For example:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Salt

Valid hive values include:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKCU
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKLM
  • HKEY_USERS or HKU
参数:vname (str) -- The name of the value you'd like to create beneath the

Key. If this parameter is not passed it will assume you want to set the (Default) value

参数:use_32bit_registry (bool) -- Use the 32bit portion of the registry.

Applies only to 64bit windows. 32bit Windows will ignore this parameter. Default is False.

返回:Returns a dictionary showing the results of the registry operation.
返回类型:dict

CLI Example:

'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Salt':
  reg.absent
    - vname: version

In the above example the value named version will be removed from the SOFTWARESalt key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive. If vname was not passed, the (Default) value would be deleted.

salt.states.reg.key_absent(name, use_32bit_registry=False)

2015.5.4 新版功能.

Ensure a registry key is removed. This will remove a key and all value entries it contains. It will fail if the key contains subkeys.

参数:name (str) -- A string representing the full path to the key to be

removed to include the hive and the keypath. The hive can be any of the following:

  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKLM
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKCU
  • HKEY_USER or HKU
参数:use_32bit_registry (bool) -- Use the 32bit portion of the registry.

Applies only to 64bit windows. 32bit Windows will ignore this parameter. Default is False.

返回:Returns a dictionary showing the results of the registry operation.
返回类型:dict

The following example will delete the SOFTWARE\Salt key and all subkeys under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.

范例:

'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Salt':
  reg.key_absent:
    - force: True

In the above example the path is interpreted as follows:

  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER is the hive
  • SOFTWARE\Salt is the key
salt.states.reg.present(name, vname=None, vdata=None, vtype='REG_SZ', use_32bit_registry=False)

Ensure a registry key or value is present.

参数:name (str) -- A string value representing the full path of the key to

include the HIVE, Key, and all Subkeys. For example:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Salt

Valid hive values include: - HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKCU - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKLM - HKEY_USERS or HKU

参数:vname (str) -- The name of the value you'd like to create beneath the

Key. If this parameter is not passed it will assume you want to set the (Default) value

参数:vdata (str) -- The value you'd like to set. If a value name (vname) is

passed, this will be the data for that value name. If not, this will be the (Default) value for the key.

The type for the (Default) value is always REG_SZ and cannot be changed. This parameter is optional. If not passed, the Key will be created with no associated item/value pairs.

参数:vtype (str) -- The value type for the data you wish to store in the

registry. Valid values are:

  • REG_BINARY
  • REG_DWORD
  • REG_EXPAND_SZ
  • REG_MULTI_SZ
  • REG_SZ (Default)
参数:use_32bit_registry (bool) -- Use the 32bit portion of the registry.

Applies only to 64bit windows. 32bit Windows will ignore this parameter. Default is False.

返回:Returns a dictionary showing the results of the registry operation.
返回类型:dict

The following example will set the (Default) value for the SOFTWARE\Salt key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive to 2016.3.1:

范例:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Salt:
  reg.present:
    - vdata: 2016.3.1

The following example will set the value for the version entry under the SOFTWARE\Salt key in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive to 2016.3.1. The value will be reflected in Wow6432Node:

范例:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Salt:
  reg.present:
    - vname: version
    - vdata: 2016.3.1

In the above example the path is interpreted as follows: - HKEY_CURRENT_USER is the hive - SOFTWARE\Salt is the key - vname is the value name ('version') that will be created under the key - vdata is the data that will be assigned to 'version'
