strComputer = "."

    "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
   strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

objReg.CreateKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath
WScript.Echo "Created registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NewKey"

i dont think you can set a value to (default)

but you can create another key like this

const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set objReg=GetObject( _
    "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
   strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
 
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\NewKey"
objReg.CreateKey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath
strkey = "(Default)"
value = "test"
objreg.setstringvalue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,strKey,value
WScript.Echo "Created registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NewKey"
