To get a double quote in VBS you would use """" (4 of them) to return a
single " or you can use chr(34) which looks a lot tidier in a string
 
You could try "hkcu\software\microsoft\windowsNT\CurrentVersion\Devices\" &
chr(92) & chr(92) & "<printserver>\<p-rintqueue>"

Normally in javascript we use twice as many back slashes as we need. For
example \\server\share would be in a javascript \\\\server\\share 

 

I write all my scripts in Java script as I find it easer and slightly more
powerful then VB script.

 

Don't know if that helps or not.

I need to read the following regkey 

hkcu\software\microsoft\windowsNT\CurrentVersion\Devices\\\<printserver>\<p-
rintqueue> 

I receive the following error 

Invalid root in Registry Key 
"Hkey_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Devices\\\<p-
rintserver>\<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
