Way to see if registry Key exists

[ErrolDC]

With the Scripting.FileSystem object, one can check to see if a file actually exists before trying to open it. Is it possible to examine the registry for a particular keyname to see if it exists? Everything I've seen and done at this point assumes that the key exists.

Thanks.

You may consider playing with the On Error instruction the WshShell.RegRead method and the Err object.

Hope This Helps, PH.
