module: win_regedit
version_added: "2.0"
short_description: Add, change, or remove registry keys and values
description:
- Add, modify or remove registry keys and values.
- More information about the windows registry from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Registry).
options:
path:
description:
- Name of registry path.
- 'Should be in one of the following registry hives: HKCC, HKCR, HKCU, HKLM, HKU.'
required: true
aliases: [ key ]
name:
description:
- Name of registry entry in C(path).
- This is an entry in the above C(key) parameter.
- If not provided, or empty we use the default name '(default)'.
aliases: [ entry ]
data:
description:
- Value of the registry entry C(name) in C(path).
- Binary data should be expressed a yaml byte array or as comma separated hex values. An easy way to generate this is to run C(regedit.exe) and
use the I(Export) option to save the registry values to a file. In the exported file binary values will look like C(hex:be,ef,be,ef).
The C(hex:) prefix is optional.
type:
description:
- Registry value data type.
choices:
- binary
- dword
- expandstring
- multistring
- string
- qword
default: string
aliases: [ datatype ]
state:
description:
- State of registry entry.
choices:
- present
- absent
default: present
notes:
- Check-mode C(-C/--check) and diff output C(-D/--diff) are supported, so that you can test every change against the active configuration before
applying changes.
- Beware that some registry hives (C(HKEY_USERS) in particular) do not allow to create new registry paths.
