I want to make a change on windows explorer by modifying specific registry value

  • 0

I want to make a change on windows explorer by modifying specific registry value directly. but, the explorer is changed since I restart it ONLY.

I guess that reloading the cache of the explorer’s setting is a proper solution. But, I don’t know how to reload the cache programmatically.

Is there anybody who know the solution?

UPDATE:
I think that my question do not give you enough information. When I changed any policy of internet settings on registry, I expect that the change would affect the windows explorer immediately. But it didn’t do that. Thus, I tried to monitor the behavior of the explorer using ProcessMonitor made by sysinternals. By monitoring, I discovered the explorer didn’t get the value from registry each time.

Therefore, I really wanted to know how to make the explorer get the value.

    I’m not sure the following solution is best.
    I tried to use IInternetZoneManager and IInternetSecurityManager to modify the internet setting. It’s a indirect way. This COM module helped me to affect the explorer immediately.
