If the key doesn't exist, it is created first. Uses PowerShell's `New-ItemPropery` to create the value if doesn't exist. Otherwise uses `Set-ItemProperty` to set the value. `DWord` and `QWord` values are stored in the registry as unsigned integers. If you pass a negative integer for the `DWord` and `QWord` parameters, PowerShell will convert it to an unsigned integer before storing. You won't get the same negative number back. To store integer values greater than `[Int32]::MaxValue` or `[Int64]::MaxValue`, use the `UDWord` and `UQWord` parameters, respectively, which are unsigned integers. These parameters were in Carbon 2.0. In versions of Carbon before 2.0, you'll need to convert these large unsigned integers into signed integers. You can't do this with casting. Casting preservers the value, not the bits underneath. You need to re-interpret the bits. Here's some sample code: # Carbon 1.0 $bytes = [BitConverter]::GetBytes( $unsignedInt ) $signedInt = [BitConverter]::ToInt32( $bytes, 0 ) # Or use `ToInt64` if you're working with 64-bit/QWord values Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path $Path -Name 'MyUnsignedDWord' -DWord $signedInt # Carbon 2.0 Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path $Path -Name 'MyUnsignedDWord' -UDWord $unsignedInt .LINK Get-CRegistryKeyValue .LINK Test-CRegistryKeyValue .EXAMPLE Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path 'hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test -Name Status -String foobar Creates the `Status` string value under the `hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test` key and sets its value to `foobar`. .EXAMPLE Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path 'hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test -Name ComputerName -String '%ComputerName%' -Expand Creates an expandable string. When retrieving this value, environment variables will be expanded. .EXAMPLE Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path 'hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test -Name Movies -String ('Signs','Star Wars','Raiders of the Lost Ark') Sets a multi-string (i.e. array) value. .EXAMPLE Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test -Name 'SomeBytes' -Binary ([byte[]]@( 1, 2, 3, 4)) Sets a binary value (i.e. `REG_BINARY`). .EXAMPLE Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test -Name 'AnInt' -DWord 48043 Sets a binary value (i.e. `REG_DWORD`). .EXAMPLE Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test -Name 'AnInt64' -QWord 9223372036854775807 Sets a binary value (i.e. `REG_QWORD`). .EXAMPLE Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test -Name 'AnUnsignedInt' -UDWord [uint32]::MaxValue Demonstrates how to set a registry value with an unsigned integer or an integer bigger than `[int]::MaxValue`. The `UDWord` parameter was added in Carbon 2.0. In earlier versions of Carbon, you have to convert the unsigned int's bits to a signed integer: $bytes = [BitConverter]::GetBytes( $unsignedInt ) $signedInt = [BitConverter]::ToInt32( $bytes, 0 ) Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path $Path -Name 'MyUnsignedDWord' -DWord $signedInt .EXAMPLE Set-CRegistryKeyValue -Path hklm:\Software\Carbon\Test -Name 'AnUnsignedInt64' -UQWord [uint64]::MaxValue Demonstrates how to set a registry value with an unsigned 64-bit integer or a 64-bit integer bigger than `[long]::MaxValue`. The `UQWord parameter was added in Carbon 2.0.
