Registry?

I am running XP. Why does part of this code fail??

Dim regVersion As RegistryKey = Nothing
regVersion =
Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\\CurrentC ontrolSet\\Control\\Servic
es\\Tcpip\Parameters", True)
If (Not regVersion Is Nothing) Then ***always fails regVersion = nothing
....code stuff
regVersion.Close()
end if

regVersion =
Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SYSTEM\\CurrentC ontrolSet\\Control\\Class\
\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318}\0001", True)
If (Not regVersion Is Nothing) Then ******always works! regVersion =
regkey class
....code stuff
regVersion.Close()
end if

Thanks....!

Right key name?

I have only
...CurrentControlSet\\Control..
and
...CurrentControlSet\\Services..

but not Control\\Services\\...

Why do you use "\\"? Why not simply use "\"?
