Registry read

I am trying to read a key in the registry but I get nothing in response and I
copied the code from the help files.
Here is the code:
Dim readValue As Object
readValue =
My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\M yTestKey", "Name", Nothing)
MsgBox("The value is " & CStr(readValue))
Also, how would you read the other lines in the key as there is no place for
an index?
Any help would be appreciated.

Dim regKey As RegistryKey
Dim readValue As Object
regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USE R\MyTestKey", True)
readValue = regKey.GetValue("Name")
regKey.Close()
