Correct.

Sure.

Here is an example skin:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
DynamicWindowSize=1
BackgroundMode=2
SolidColor=0,0,0,1

[MeasureSuperHidden]
Measure=Registry
RegHKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USER
RegKey=Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
RegValue=ShowSuperHidden

[MeterSuperHidden]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureSuperHidden
FontColor=255,255,255,255
FontSize=13
Text="Show Protected = %1"
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute ["#ADDONSPATH#ToggleShowProtected\ToggleShowProtected.vbs"]

Save the below code as C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Addons\ToggleShowProtected\ToggleShowProtected.vbs

Code: Select all

' Script to toggle Windows Explorer display of proteced system files

Option Explicit
Dim dblHiddenData, strSuperHiddenKey
Dim strKey, WshShell
On Error Resume Next

strKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced"
strSuperHiddenKey = strKey & "\ShowSuperHidden"

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
dblHiddenData = WshShell.RegRead(strSuperHiddenKey)

If dblHiddenData = 0 Then
	WshShell.RegWrite strSuperHiddenKey, 1, "REG_DWORD"

Else
	WshShell.RegWrite strSuperHiddenKey, 0, "REG_DWORD"

End If

Click on the meter to toggle.

Thank you, but what I have to do, if the registry value is not a DWORD, but a REG_SZ? I tried more possibilites, but didn't worked.

Thank you.

If it the value is of type REG_SZ, then you need to pass it through a Calc measure first to convert the string into a number. Then you can use it however you like. Example:

Code: Select all

[MeasureRegistry]
Measure=Registry
RegHKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USER
RegKey=SomePlace\InThe\Registry
RegValue=SomeRegSzValue

[ConvertREGSZ]
Measure=Calc
Formula=[MeasureRegistry]
DynamicVariables=1

[ConvertREGSSZ] is the measure you would then work with.

Thank you, it really helped.

OK, so another problem: the skin is working in Rainbar 4.6, but a friend of mine is using Rainbar 4.5 and he don't want to update. But in that version, the skin is not working. I studied the problem and I'd like to know how can be done the conversion of a string to a number in a skin in Rainbar 4.5?
Thank you

He needs to update. Tell him to copy all his skins, then remove Rainbar, install Rainmeter 1.3 and copy skins back.
