C# - How to set value of (Default) in the registry?

Hi!

How can I set the value of the (Default) key?

Somehow registryKey.SetValue("(Default)", "value");

Doesnt work.

you don't need to use "(Default)", instead just leave it empty

like this registryKey.SetValue("", "value");

RegistryKey defaultbrowser1 = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("http\\shell\\open\\command", true);

defaultbrowser1.SetValue("", "a");

I get an exception:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.

what user account are you using to set the values? remember, not all user account types will have full permission to modify the registry

Im using Windows Vista but it works fine if I edit HKEY LOCAL MACHINE or CURRENT USER. It just wont work for CLASSES ROOT.
