Hi,
I want to read registry binary data into text form like if I want to read volume settings registry then I found the volume in numbers.
And if I want to read username I found the username binary data in text form.
How can I do it?
Thanx

I've just discovered a bug in some code I wrote a little while ago, and I need you guys' help to fix it. My program imports data from a standard Excel Spreadsheet (just with specific column headers). I used ODBC in my VB.NET program to read that spreadsheet into a dataset, to make it easy to manipulate. The code I use to read it is as the bottom of this posting.

my program it's just tools for my little home network.. Only thing I have left to do is reading the registy key to check the path to the shared folder.. this path is always updated so I will always be able to find the folder if it's moved (i like this idea!) but I've had alot of trouble coding it even after tutorials I just need it to show me the path to the shared folder by reading that registly key.

Currently I have it store info it gets from when the programs check in into a DataSet (XML file).

Hi. This may be a very stupid question but I'll leave you to judge it ;) I know there were lots of questions about this but none of the answers suits me. I'm wondering how to get the BINARY type data from the registry and how to display it as hex in a way I'm showing below. Let's say I use this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion \Prefetcher The value of LastDiskLayoutTime is: 6A C7 49 ED 50 5F C7 01
