Note, the example code uses
WScript.CreateO bject ("WScript.Shell ");
but since you're using ASP you should use Server.CreateOb ject instead
of WScript.CreateO bject.

The fact that its an ASP page is totally irrelevant. Totally.

What if the visitor is not using a Windows-based machine? There is no registry
to read. Besides, javascript can't read my registry. Period. It has no access.
Unless I lower my security settings to a "please rape and have your way with my
PC" settings.

Perhaps a little more insight into what you are trying to accomplish (other
than reading the registry), might get you a solution to your problem.
