im trying to put together this string to query the account sid with wmic to apply it to a reg key. what part is wrong?

Code: 
for /f %%i in ('wmic useraccount where name='%username%' get sid^) do (

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SystemProtectedUserData\%%i\AnyoneRead\Colors" /v /v "AccentColor" /t REG_DWORD /d "0xff446ea5" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SystemProtectedUserData\%%i\AnyoneRead\Colors" /v /v "StartColor" /t REG_DWORD /d "0xff446ea5" /f

I know where this is headed, and "AnyoneRead\Colors" is the wrong approach.

You're tackling a customization by looking at the bottom level, instead of using a top-level process. Research how to create themes and apply them. And you'll find Windows will often ignore your specific AccentColor because it's not "contrast-y" when compared with the other UI palette colors.

i decided to move accent colors to a seperate script

github.com

windows11-scripts/AccentColor.bat at main · shoober420/windows11-scripts

im getting closer to getting the string correct

Code: 
for /f "tokens=2 delims=^=" %%i in ('wmic useraccount where name='%username%' get sid^| findstr "S-"') do (

reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SystemProtectedUserData\%%i\AnyoneRead\Colors" /v "AccentColor" /t REG_DWORD /d "0xff446ea5" /f
reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SystemProtectedUserData\%%i\AnyoneRead\Colors" /v "StartColor" /t REG_DWORD /d "0xff446ea5" /f

)

PAUSE

when i run this, i get this error message

Code: 
shoober420 - Invalid alias verb

if i run the string seperate, it does output the user account sid properly. how can i get the output to %%i for the reg key?

i made a discovery. those reg keys werent responsible for changing the accent color. it was the reg key "AccentPalette". its binary, so i had figure out each binary value of each color in the script.
