Modify Windows Registry Using VBS

Editor's Note: Tom's Hardware is pretty heavily oriented toward, well, hardware. However, we thought you'd appreciate this valuable little voyage into Windows Visual Basic scripting (VBScript) and Windows Registry modification. Starting with this article, when we see something you might find interesting, whatever it may be, we'll let you know about it. Take it away Mr. Thomas. I'm a sort of evangelist for VBScript. One of my goals here is to lure you into using this programming language. Even if you have no interest in VBScript, I'm going to show you how to do something that you may like: how to remove those annoying arrows on shortcuts. In addition to VBScript code, I'll provide instructions on how to accomplish the same task using simple Windows Registry .reg files.
