Read from registry as integer..

Hi,

I write an integer to the registry like this:

sho.RegWrite MyLogonValueKey, 1

Later I read it like this:

Dim MyLogonValue

MyLogonValue = sho.RegRead(MyLogonValueKey)

But it seems it is read like the character "1". How can I save it or
read it like an *integer* value?

regards

Jake

Suggest you look in the WScript docs ( I presume you are using WSH?).
There is a third parameter to RegWrite to specify the type which defaults to
REG_SZ. You need REG_DWORD.

MyLogonValue = CInt(sho.RegRead(MyLogonValueKey))
