    Cool Enviroment Path in Registry

    I'm trying to return the value of the "Enviroment Path" from the registry.

    Does anyone have any sample code that can do this? If you can write to the path as well it would be handy?

    This`ll do

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Command1_Click()

    2. Dim WshShell As Object

    3. Set WshShell = CreateObject("wscript.Shell")

    4. WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment\test", "Testvalue", "REG_SZ"

    5.  

    6. Set WshShell = Nothing

    7. End Sub

    That is all

    Thanks SeaHag,

    I tried the code you sent me but I get this error:

    <Object variable or With block variable not set>

    Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to reference anything?

    Regards

    MMMmmm yeah that might be the problem. I'm running 2000. I don't actually have a Envonment path in my NKEY_Local_Machine. I do have one in my HKEY_Current_User & HKEY_Users.

    Do I just need to change it to HKCU or HKU?
