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

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.
