how to read (Default) value in Registry Key in VBScript/JScript

Question

Hi

I can read the value of the key name "UpdateCheck" under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CCleaner\

with Shell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CCleaner\UpdateCheck")

But I cannot read that of the key name "(Default)" .

Shell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CCleaner\Default")

How to read it?

Just pass the key name to RegRead and you'll get the default value. E.g.:

Shell.RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\CCleaner\\")
