Read a value from the Registry
Syntax
WshShell.RegWrite strRegName, anyValue, [strType]
Arguments:
strRegName :
To set a key instead of a value terminate strRegName
with a backslash character \
strRegName must start with one of
HKCU
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_USERS
HKLM
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKCR
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
strType :
The data type can be optionally specified as one of
REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ, (String values)

When you specify a key-name (as opposed to a value-name),
RegRead returns the default value.
