[wpkg-users] Checking for a Registry Value

[Christopher Rector]

  I understand how the checks work to detect a given registry value, but 
how do you check for a default value that doesn't have a name other that 
(default)

For example I'm looking for a way to disable the lnk icons to counter 
the latest security threat until Microsoft figures out a patch

Here's what I want to look for and if it exists then I want to blank the 
value by importing a .reg file that deletes the current value.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lnkfile\shellex\IconHandler]
@="{00021401-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

If anyone could give me an example to check for this default value that 
would be great.

Any help on this would be great. I'm sure this would useful to others as 
this issues is currently un-patched and there is no outlook for a patch 
for a few weeks
