WSHShell.Read and Registry

by dimitris . Updated 25 years, 5 months ago

I have created the following script to read a value from a certain key from the Registry and disply it back.

Dim WSHShell, a
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
WSHShell.Popup “Trying to read Paging File Size value'”
a = WSHShell.RegRead (“HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PagingFiles”)
WshShell.Popup “The current value is : ” & a

However even though i have read the documentations, manuals, html pages and so on i have been unable to do it. I finally found the problem. The value i am trying to read is a REG_MULTI_SZ value. Thats why i get a type mismatch error. However the manuals say that RegRead does read this type of values. Anybody got an ideas how i can get round to it and read the value but most importantly display it?
