How do I do this?

Where do you want to read the strings from?

So you want to read a REG_MULTI_SZ value from the Registry? Then you
use the Microosft.Win32.RegistryKey class. Cast the return value from
the GetValue method to a String().

The things is that I use a funtion (below the EM) and it gives the following EM

EM = Conversion from type 'String()' to type 'String' is not valid.


------
Private Function GetDefaultFolderLocation(ByVal sk As String) As String

Dim key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
key =
Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\NetGearLogReder\Default")
Dim name As String = CType(key.GetValue(sk), String)

' Return the key value to the programe
GetDefaultFolderLocation = name

End Function

Dim name As String = CType(key.GetValue(sk), String)

You should cast to a string _array_, not a single string.

Dim names() As String = CType(key.GetValue(sk), String())

Cheers I will try this out.

Thank You!
