I am very new to VBS. I have always used batch files, and am now just trying to get into the VBS Game. I have been able to do some basic stuff using templates.

Questin is: Is there a way to create a variable based on a registry key value, and then launch a win32 app using the variable as a switch?

Any help would be great!

Thanks

Yes and yes. I will put an example below, but check Here and you can get the Script documentation Here

Taken from Documentation.

quote:

Dim WshShell, bKey
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\", 1, "REG_BINARY"
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader", "Goocher!", "REG_SZ"

bKey = WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\")
strRegKey = WshShell.RegRead("HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader")
msgbox strRegKey

'Run command could be
'WshShell.Run "somefile.exe /" & strRegKey,1,TRUE

WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\MindReader"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\FortuneTeller\"
WshShell.RegDelete "HKCU\Software\ACME\"
