I need to read the following regkey hkcu\software\microsoft\windowsNT\CurrentVersion\Devices\\\<printserver>\<printqueue> I receive the following error Invalid root in Registry Key "Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Devices\\\<printserver>\<printqueue> Code: 80070057 source Wshshell.RegRead I'm know that the "\\" are to blame, as the script works when the value does not have the "\\" in it. Thanks in advance -- Tom at home
