Environment variable or Registry key echoed in browser?

[thespook]

I'm trying to echo the computer name in a browser window/html document either from a registry key (HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName\ComputerName) or an environment variable (COMPUTERNAME). This will end up being part of the wallpaper of an active-desktop enabled PC and so the script will be running in the Intranet zone. I am very new to VB and VBScript and don't have a firm grasp of what is and is not allowed within a browser window. I have tried several bits of code and below are the last two that I've tried though neither actually echo any text in the browser. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

<Script Language=&quot;vbscript&quot;>
Dim WshSHell
Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject(&quot;Wscript.Shell&quot
WScript.Echo WshShell.RegRead(&quot;HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName\ComputerName&quot
</Script>

<Script Language=&quot;vbscript&quot;>
Dim WshSHell
Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject(&quot;Wscript.Shell&quot
WScript.Echo WSHShell.Environment.item(&quot;computername&quot
</Script>

are you sure you are asking for computername correctly? I dont know if you have to say COMPUTERNAME? because until now i found all environment items usually caled using capitals-i dont kow if that help-else try to get some other environment variable like PATH or WINDIR and see if it works
