Say I have the following Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/test/key1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/test/key2
How do I get all the keys under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/test?
Thank you

'* Assume you have keys and your form has a cmdLoad command button
'* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\New Key #1\New Value #1
'* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Test\New Key #2\New Value #1
'* So we first get the collection of sub keys i.e New Key #1 and New Key #2
'* then get their corresponding values...
