Reading registered file types in windows

Hello,

is there anyway I can get the complete list of extensions in the registered
file types in vb.net?
(in explorer: Folder options -> tab file types)

You may want to read this information from the system registry using
'Microsoft.Win32.Registry'. It's stored under the 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT' key.
