:Anybody have any examples of reading the Windows Registry

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

I can't give you the path to your USB info in the registry as this a 
user/type/vendor/keys/params/format
dependent path/info.

However, if you type "windows registry" in your search engine, you'll find 
more than anyone can swallow!
Dont be scared...

look for the links pointing to either technet or support.microsoft.com 
where they provide ample information
on all the hierarchies you need to know. 

for example:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986/EN-US/

Also if you type Regedit in the run... of your start menu, you can browse 
it easily like a file explorer.

BEWARE of changing stuff in the registry you can really bust the OS if not 
done carefully...

cheers
Xavier
