Read Registry Keys

[Sir Loin]

I want to search a section of the registry, and change keys after the key is read, how do I do that?

For example: I want to read all of the keys that are to open on Windows reboot, and add them to a listbox.

I can read 1 key just fine, but how do I change keys?

Thanks,
Sir Loin

The attached module has an example of enumerating all subkeys at the top of it.

edit

It also has an example of getting all of the values in any given subkey

Change your thread title - it's misleading ...

Thanks, it works great!

I have one question though, what is lKeyValue's purpose in this code, its value is 0, right? but the code doesn't work if you replace Ikeyvalue with 0's, why?

Public Function ReadRegistryGetSubkey(ByVal Group As Long, ByVal Section As String, Idx As Integer) As String
    Dim lResult As Long, lKeyValue As Long, lDataTypeValue As Long, lValueLength As Long, sValue As String, td As Double
    On Error Resume Next
    lResult = RegOpenKey(Group, Section, lkeyvalue)
    sValue = Space$(2048)
    lValueLength = Len(sValue)
    lResult = RegEnumKey(lKeyValue, Idx, sValue, lValueLength)
    If (lResult = 0) And (Err.Number = 0) Then
        sValue = Left$(sValue, InStr(sValue, Chr(0)) - 1)
    Else
        sValue = "Not Found"
    End If
    lResult = RegCloseKey(lKeyValue)
    ReadRegistryGetSubkey = sValue
    
End Function

Thanks,

lKeyValue is a variable and once it reads the registry key it will be changed from 0 to some other number. If you type 0 in it's place it won't work.
