Extracting data from registry using VB

[ahoover]

How would I extract data from the registry of a PC using VB? Should I run a shell command and have a batch file run? Please show example if possible. Thanks.

You may be able to use the VB getSetting anbd SaveSetting Functions but they are limited to a specific part of the registry.

Other that that it is API calls. Examples are in the article above.

that is helpful. But could someone or yourself give me a simple example. Something that I can run to just see it capture the data. Also, what type of components or references might I need to add to my project.
