You have to be kidding. This is not programming, c++ or otherwise.

Open notepad or your text editor of choice. Copy the words after "contains" and paste them into the text editor. Then save that file and you are done. The Save option is usually under the editor's File menu.

BTW - This appears to be a registry file and everything up to the right square bracket (']') is one line and the text with "EnableLUA" should be on the second line. It should look like this :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICOSOFT\WINDOWS\CurrentVersion\Policies\system]
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

Point 1: that will not work because you have mis-spelled Microsoft in the key, it should be:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

Point 2: modifying the system registry without understanding the effects can make your system unusable. So make sure you back everything up before making such a change. Also, see the warning at EnableLUA | Microsoft Learn[^].

If you make this change then your system will be potentially open to attack from viruses, trojan horses, ransomware, etc.

An easier and safer way to change the LUA settings is documented here:

For the sake of completeness, you can of course also write a C or C++ program for this. This would be a bit overkill, but possible. Here one could start:
