VBscript problem

  I "suppose" that doesn't work because the security level of IE. (I hope that works that way..., or I will be very concerned, even when it runs from a file on my PC.). Only when that is an *.vbs file, only with code, and doesnt run on IE.
  
  --------
  : I am trying to read a registry key (win 2k and Win XP) using the regread function. Ultimately, I want to store all of the contents of the registry key in a file then compare it to another file to check for differences. I am start with small snipets of code to get a feel for what I need to do. The code attached will display a simple message box then will read a key from the registry and display it on my browser (IE). This is all I am trying to do at this point. The message box works but I see no text (registry key contents). I must be doing something wrong. All of the books I have been reading don't go into any real depth on this and hopefully someone can help.

  I figured out why it doesn't run...the path I used "hklmSOFTWARECompaqCIC" is case sensitive. the hklm should be HKLM. Damn, I hate when small things like that tie me up for hours! Although, I won't be making that mistake again! Also, I should state that I downloaded the Windows Scripting environment from the MS web site. That way I am not relying on IE to run my script. Thanks for the reply Hackman!
