Can a wild card be used for registry key value names in a script like this?

Basically I m trying to create a script that when ran will look for any devices in the registry key that begin with a double slash and remove them. I can go into more detail but it would be lengthy and pointless. There are to many names to just write a script with all of them. I can handle writing the loop but I need help getting this part to work first. Thanks in advance for any help.

2 AnswersProgramming & Design6 years agoC++ how to take user input of time and seperate it into hours and minutes?
I need to take a users input such as 10:35 and put it into a variable of hours and minutes. How can I do this using the colon as the separate for the two? This is how the assignment requires it be entered.
Example of what I am doing.
int main()
{
char again = 'y';
int userHours = 0;
int userMinutes = 0;
while (again == 'y')
{
cout << "Enter a time in 24-hour notation: ";
cin >> userHours >> ":" >> userMinutes;
}
return 0;
}

1 AnswerOther - Computers1 decade agoNeed Help from Fellow ITs with e-mail issue?
I old laptop is giving me issues. Most the PCs have XP pro and are part of the domain but this laptop has Home and its really not worth upgrading to pro just to join the domain. We have an Exchange 2007 server on the LAN along with several other servers. No DHCP server all the IPs are manually configured. I have an IP scanner so I know there are no IP conflicts. This 1 laptop though when I send myself an e-mail it take from 3 hours to several days to send the e-mail. I have traced the problem to the laptop. The server records show that as soon as it gets the e-mail it sends it to my inbox. Its just the 1 comp I'm having the issue with and the domain suffix and wins have been entered. Any ideas? cause both me and our 3rd party IT have had no luck with it.

5 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoWhy is a wireless router cheaper then an access point?
I will link both products i'm looking at on the bottom of this. I'm an IT so keep stupid answers to yourself your not fooling anyone. I don't have much experience with wireless yet but I'm about to put an access point in at work for 2 laptops. What i don't get is the wireless router is 15 dollars cheaper. The router is itself an access point/4 port switch/router. While the access point is just that and thats all it is. Any insitful information would be great thanks.

4 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoCan comcast be used as a backup for a T1 to keep your internet connection from going down?
My problem is this the company I work for has just set up an online store front on a server in our LAN. Our ISP every once in a while goes down for a few hours. With the companies that will be using our storefront will have a fit if they cann't access it right when they want to. So we want to back it up with comcast cause its way cheaper then a second T1 provider, but I'm not sure if its possible cause DSL and comcast have different ways that the signal is sent plus there is the IP address issue. Even any ideas on other ways to back it up would be great thanks.
