Status: offline 		My terminology may not be correct. This is what I need to read.  The MANY USER NAMES would be read from about 3,000 registry username entries.  I need to monitor for changes in the strValueName value for all users under \MailUsers\.  I just can't find anything that tells me how to loop through all \MailUsers\ and get the strValueName value for each.

strKeyPath = "Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\MANY USER NAMES"
strValueName = "Personality"

I have no problem reading one value from one MailUser but just can't figure out the loop process for this one.  Any help would be appreciated.

RegReadPerSig.vbs(25, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object not a collection
Exit code: 0 , 0000h

Status: offline 		My apologies. The line number of the error included all the intro header stuff. Here's the line.

RegReadPerSig.vbs(12, 1) Microsoft VBScript runtime error: Object not a collection
Exit code: 0 , 0000h


12 For Each subkey In arrSubKeys 
13   oReg.GetStringValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath & "\" & subKey,strValueName,strValue
14     wscript.echo strValue

Status: offline 		Copied from Parabellum, heres something that works for me:

const HKLM = &H80000002
strComputer = "."
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
oReg.enumValues HKLM, strKeyPath, arrSubkeys 'enum thru the values within strKeyPath
For Each strSubkey In arrSubkeys
   oReg.GetStringValue HKLM, strKeyPath, strSubKey
   If strSubkey <> "" Then 'check if empty
      MsgBox strSubkey
   End If
Next
MsgBox "complete"

depending on what you're trying to read, is it a Reg key(s) or Reg folder(s) within the registry.  example from the repository:  http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/os/registry/osrgvb10.mspx?mfr=true

Status: offline 		All solutions thus far don't get me deep enough into the Registry. I'm sure it's my explanation of what is needed so I'll try again.  I'll keep it simple (for my sake).

Here are three users.  I can enumerate that deeply into the Registry no problem.  However, under each  users name there are subkeys and I need the value of one of those subkeys.

User Level
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\joseph
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\phil
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\wally

SubKey Level
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\joseph\personalitysignature
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\phil\personalitysignature
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\wally\personalitysignature

SubKeyValue Level
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\joseph\personalitysignature\"This is Joseph's Signature"
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\phil\personalitysignature\"This is Phil's Signature"
Software\Rockliffe\MailSite\MailUsers\wally\personalitysignature\"This is Wally's Signature"

So, I have to go through every one of the 16,000+ username registry entries for MailUsers and read the value of the string in the subkey personalitysignature.

Hope that makes more sense.  Actually i have managed to get to the point that I can read and list the SubKey Level as indicated above.  But I cannot get past that point.

Status: offline 		Create a Sub/Function to help recurse through all sub folders...look at what you have and try to think of how you would accomplish that and put something together.  Look at the Frequently Asked Stuff post and you'll see an example of recursing through files and folders...though not the same...it is an example of recursion.

EnumKey will return an array of all sub keys under a particular key
EnumValues...well you're using it

These are pretty much all you need for what you have mentioned...just need to add "recursion"
