Accessing the local registry is quite easy using VBScript. Here are some examples on how to read, write, and delete information from the local registry.

RegRead Syntax

object.RegRead(strName)

dim objShell
set objShell=CreateObject("wscript.shell")
strProductName=objShell.RegRead("HKLM\Software\" &_
  "Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProductName")
wscript.echo "Your computer is running " & strProductName
