Hi, How can I retrieve something from Registry ?

Take a look at the 'Microsoft.Win32.Registry' class.

Here's a very simple example:

Imports Microsoft.Win32

Private Function GetRegistryValue(ByVal sKey As String, ByVal sKeyName
As String) As String
Dim reg As RegistryKey
Dim strTemp As String
reg = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(sKey)
reg.OpenSubKey(strKey)
If Not (reg Is Nothing) Then
strTemp = reg.GetValue(sKeyName)
reg.Close()
End If
Return strTemp
End Function

I have just coded it for HKEY_CURRENT_USER & it doesn't include any error
trapping, but you get the idea
