Reason being, the HTA application I'm working on is going to have a button which will, hopefully, run regedit and then connect to the remote PC so the users can browse the remote reg
and then what...
If you are really automating, then you will think ahead and analyze the tasks wanting to be accomplished by browsing the remote machine....
You cannot convince me that users like the view of regedit on their screen, without any action....
Using the tips that EBGreen gave you will also allow you to view data held by the registry database...

I did a quick search on regedit command line arguements and did not find any that would open regedit on another PC. if you really wanted to open the reg for browsing, you could use sendkeys.

I hear what you're saying, and I hope your not "implying" that I haven't thought ahead ;)
I work in an organisation that literally has hundreds of applications, hotfixes, security patches etc etc etc and the guys supporting these apps have a requirement to use regedit occasionally to "browse" the registry for different reasons. What I'm trying to say, is that there could be hundreds and hundreds of different keys etc that these guys need to view/add/change/delete and it's not possible to "think ahead" and script all these possibilities into a single script. Actually, no offence, but that notion is ridiculous. The amount of new apps, hotfixes, changes etc that happen in a global company of this size would mean I would need to rewrite the HTA application every week, also ridiculous.
These guys requested the ability to be able to launch regedit (connected to the remote PC) so that they can browse to whatever area of the registry that they need for the particular ticket they are working on at the time. My job is to try and satisfy this request as it is what they would find easiest to do their job.
Should my HTA application have 1574 buttons and be updated weekly ? or 1 button and let the users browse to whereever they need to go ?

No, I didn't mean that, at the time of reading your post, it didn't seem logical, while VBScript has many possibilities to perform almost any Windows task.

I am in a Global Enterprise myself and all the hundreds of applications, hotfixes, security patches etc etc etc that you have, we have aswell, and so do other people here on the forum.
And yes, it may sound unbelievable, but that is also what VBScript is designed for, to relief certain jobs, and leave it up to automating

Dunno, depends if you automate certain tasks, and not all...there are many ways to automate dynamically, that is, one script for various jobs, looking only at the hotfixes, there are very good generic scripts which can be easily applied. Especially since the HotFixes have different numbers each time.

SendKeys is the only option I'm afraid. I had to resort to using the evil bastard/spawn of Satan/hellchild thing in ManagePC and it bugs me so much that I've started writing a Registry Editor of my own simply so that I can pass a computer to it via the command-line!
