Using .vbs file to modify registry

[Mr NDP]

Hello,

I want to use the following .vbs script to disable viewing of non rated
websites when my son is logged into the computer:

' Begin_Script
Option Explicit
Dim RegKey, WSHShell
Set WSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
RegKey =
"HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Ratings\.Default\"
WSHShell.RegWrite regkey & "Allow_Unknowns", 0
'End_Script

However, instead of changing:

Allow_unknowns REG_DWORD 0x00000001 (1)

to this:

Allow_unknowns REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0)

It changes it to:

Allow_unknowns REG_SZ 0

How can I modify my .vbs script to keep it from changing the key from
REG_DWORD to REG_SZ???

Please help...

If I remember correctly you can add a third parameter to RegWrite to specify
the type, so you'd need something like:

WSHShell.RegWrite regkey & "Allow_Unknowns", 0 , "REG_DWORD"
