Remember, modifying the registry incorrectly is a great way of crashing your system......

Dim WshShell As Object 
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
 
'To write to registry
WshShell.RegWrite _
      "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcAnywhere\Directory", _
      "What ever you want", "REG_SZ" 
 
'to read from registry
str = WshShell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\pcAnywhere\DIR") 
Set WshShell = Nothing
