    I have had some trouble with this one. How can I Display the contents of the Run Registry value in a textbox? Just incase you are wondering, this key is located in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run

      MessageBox.Show. Reading the registry is also widely documented.

        Thanks on the quick reply, how would I use message box.Show to display it? like this? Messagebox.show ("HKEY_L...") ? sorry I am allmost certain that is wrong as that just displays text. :sigh:

          HI, This Code to Reading fro registry

          Imports Microsoft.Win32
          
          Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE", True).OpenSubKey("Microsoft", True).OpenSubKey("Windows", True).OpenSubKey("CurrentVersion", True).OpenSubKey("run",True).GetValue(OBJECTNAME>
          

          _The _**OBJECTNAME**_ must be replaced by value name in the Key (RUN) e.g. "TkBellExe" Mohamad A. Flefel mflefel@hotmail.com +962 79 5963865 C#.net & VB.net Developer _

            My point was that even if you typed the question in to google as you typed it here, you'd probably find heaps of articles on how to read the registry.

                Since the registry has a tree structure, maybe the textbox is not the best idea... :):-D:)

                    Yes! MSDN is your good friend, there are samples about populating TreeViews. :)

                      The RegEnumValue function enumerates the values for the specified open registry key。 For more detail about how to use "RegEnumValue", go to MSDN library for help! This is the URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/regenumvalue.asp[^] Please forgive me for my poor English, but I'm a Chinese student!:laugh:

                        i think that u want to display the values entire the "RUN" Key if this correct ,try this code Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE", True).OpenSubKey("Microsoft", True).OpenSubKey("Windows", True).OpenSubKey("CurrentVersion", True).OpenSubKey("run", True).GetValueNames() the GetValueNames() return the names of all values in key then u can read the value by using the getvalue("ObjectName") method then u can display them in any way u like
