Access Registry from ASP page

[sarun]

How can the registry values be read from an ASP page?

You're talking about the server's registry right? What you'd have to do is write a COM dll that uses the appropriate API calls, and have the ASP script create an instance of the class in the dll.

Also, there's security issues. I believe the DLL would run under the Anonymous User account, which may or may not have permission to read the registry.

You could write an activex utility that does the same thing on the client and sends the results, but the user would have to either be a)dumb or b)very trusting to allow you to send an unsigned, unsafe activeX control to his/her computer.
