Hello,
I want to open the specified location in Registry using VB.NET similar
Registry Favorite, how to do?

The regedit.exe can not open specified location.

Thank you

YXQ,

Probably because that the favorites are not in the registry however in the
"favorite" folder.
The name and place of that is depending from the used system however you can
find it with

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Favorites)

I hope this helps?

Thanks, but i think you have not understanded my meaning.
When open the Registry Editor, i want to straightway locate and open a
specified key(i.e. "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software").

yxq,

I think I miss your question, can you tell me what is the relation to VBnet,
than maybe I understand it better?

The regedit.exe can not open specified location.

I don't know a stable and good solution for that. Maybe it works by setting
the
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit\LastKey'
registry key before starting "regedit".

Like some registry monitor software, double-click a registry key(i.e.
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software"), the Registry Editor will be openned and
locate to the specified key("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software") now.

Thank you

yxg,

First, I don't see how this is VBNet related, can you explain that too me. I
have no problems with answering OT messages. However otherwise that we are
building a complete thread with it seems me a little bit overdone.

Second when you want to see the registry using regedit you needs
administrator rights.
