metasploit meterpreter registry space problem

[joshuavillwo]

So I've played around with metasploit for a while now, pentesting my own network. One problem: Once I have successfully gotten a meterpreter shell, I cannot figure out how to correctly modify/add a registry value with a space in the path.

for example, if I run this:
HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon\\SpecialAccounts\\Use rList -v fred -d 0
it tries to do something with:
HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows

I have tried to enclose it it quotes, like you would in a windows command shell, and several other things to no avail.

Any help would be much appreciated.
(Unfortunatly, I am running metasploit under windows, so could this cause slight syntax problems?)

figured it out.
you have to enclose just the part with the space in quotes:

reg setval -k HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\"Windows NT"\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon\\SpecialAccounts\\us erlist -v fred -d 0 -t REG_DWORD

also, you have to set a type, such as REG_DWORD
