How is my script different? You are trying to use an ActiveXObject to read the registry. I am using the Windows API to read the registry. I don't see how this is different at all in any way, aside from mione providing more control; longer code; and using more memory.

code:

---

var sReturnValue = GetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Software\\Patchou\\Messenger Plus! Live', 'DefaultUser');
Debug.Trace('sReturnValue: '+sReturnValue);

---

Again I don't see how they differ at all.

The proper syntax for a "return" statement is:

and "value = Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key)" is not a value but a statement on its own. So either you do:

    var value = Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key);
    return value;

or simply:

    return Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key);

As I said, it doesn't work either...
The return thing gives an error not matter what I do.

What is the error code that you get?

And what code do you use exactly?

1. Back to good old 7.5, so I can't check the error number.

2. The code is/are:

code:

---

function ReadRegistry(key)
{
    var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    return Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key);
}

---

code:

---

function ReadRegistry(key)
{
    var Shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    var value = Shell.RegRead(MsgPlus.ScriptRegPath + key);
    return value;
}

---

Both gives the same error if I remember correctly.

Only thing I can think of is that the key doesn't excist...

I checked it exists.
It works okay with Debug.Trace but return doesn't.
Also I checked with regedit, it's there.

Have you tried the script I posted? Just save it to a seperate JS file then call its function.

I posted it for a reason I know it works cause I actually use it.

There is nothing wrong in that latest code. The error is as Ezra suggested the key value you give to the function which doesn't exit or whatever. It works fine here.
