Registry does not work for all values

[Jacek]

I am testing my Vista Home Premium laptop.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop]
"Wallpaper" = "C:\beaches.jpg"

Windows tells me that the value was added, but the BDR did not move.

whereas if I do

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main]
"Start Page" = "http://www.google.com"

it works

Can any one explain me this?

I think your Windows Registry is certainly messed up. Just repair your Windows with bootable CD and see if that works.

Why don't you try something like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop]
"Wallpaper" = "C:\\beaches.jpg"

Hey great work man! It works now!

I suppose the BDR expects this type of syntax and does not responds when it finds incorrect syntax's, even if the message has been successfully added, am I correct ?
