without escape character

[Steve]

The string in registry is
"rundll32.e xe C:\Program Files\INTERN~1\ hmmapi.dll,Open InboxHandler"
After opensubkey and getregistry, I got
"rundll32.e xe \"C:\\Progra m Files\\INTERN~1 \\hmmapi.dll\", OpenInboxHandle r"

Is there anyway I can get the string exactly in registry without escape
character?

I assume you are looking at this value in the debugger.

you ARE getting the value without the escape characters. The debugger puts
in the escape characters when it shows you the value. It's a display thing
that doesn't affect the value actually stored.

Yes, I saw it from the debugger, my purpose is separate exe file and
parameter.
I used
launch_iexplore r = "\"C:\\Prog ram Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexpl ore.exe\"
-nohome" (get from the registry)
Regex r = new Regex(".exe"); // Split on .exe
string[] s = r.Split(launch_ iexplorer);

I got
s[0]="\"C:\\Prog ram Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexpl ore"
s[1]="\" -nohome"
what I want is
s[0]="\"C:\\Prog ram Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexpl ore.exe\"
s[1]="-nohome"

I'm going to suggest that you get a hold of the Regular Expression Workbench
from GotDotNet. Using Split in the way that you are may not be the most
effective use of regular expressions.
