Reading and writing to the Registry

Christa Anderson, Contributor

The RegRead method is very simple: It's a method of WshShell that takes one argument -- the string you want to read, like this: WshShell.RegRead sName.

You can either read it yourself using Wscript.Echo or plug it back into the script for evaluation.
