I need to run a reg file I created, I am using this and VB doesn't like it... Any ideas?

Shell("C:temp\regtcpHN.reg", 4)
 
I think you need to tell it what to do with the file. Try this
Shell ("C:\winnt\Regedit C:temp\regtcpHN.reg",4).
You can also pass command line parameters if you wish. This should work although I have not used it in a while. Basically you are telling it to shell the regedit exe and then passing your reg file as a paramenter.
