RegRead gives VBscript error

[sfriday]

I am trying to read a string from the registry, I am using

Dim Wsh, Wallpaper
Set Wsh = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell&quot
set wallpaper = wsh.RegRead("HKCU\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\SCRNSAVE.EXE&quot
msgbox wallpaper

However when I run it I get a VBSCRIPT RUNTIME Error OBJECT Required: '[String:"(NONE)"]

NONE is the correct responce but why does it error and not displaye in the MSGBOX

Thanks
Steve

OK I resolved that last one by using

MSGBOX wsh.RegRead("HKCU\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\SCRNSAVE.EXE"

However why can I not assign it to a variable with the Set command shown earlier

The Set statement is for assigning object references to variables.

To assign numeric,string,boolean,etc.. values, use the assignment operator, =.

wallpaper = wsh.RegRead("HKCU\CONTROL PANEL\DESKTOP\SCRNSAVE.EXE&quot Jon Hawkins
