    Regread Network Key

    I am trying to read all the value's and data in a registry key, but one valuet is a network object so the value name is '\\servername\printername'.
    So my code looks like this:
    wshShell.RegRead ("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Devices\\\servername\printername")
    I can read all the other objects in the key except this one because it start with '\\' and messes up regread. I have tried putting the value in quotes, single and double, but with no luck. Any ideas?

    Wouldnt that be the value of the key and not the key name itself?

    Re: Regread Network Key

    Sorry, the key is:
    "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Devices"
    the String Value Name is '\\BLM\HP_4000M' (ie \\servername\printername)
    and the data I wanted to get was 'winspool, Ne00:'

    Anyways, figured it out, I had to use the objReg.EnumKey and getStringValue instead of regRead.
