Thanks. |

I use the registry "doc" within the folder you specified, and got this code:
| Code: | RegRead, OutputVar, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Extensions,doc
if errorlevel
msgbox, The registry `n`nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Extensions\doc`n`n does not exist.
else
msgbox, The registry exists. |
I remember someone on the forum mentioning that they found a way to check if a registry excists. Im going to go search for it.

if you tried to search but just used the wrong words, ignore this next comment, but if you didnt even search then try that next time first

 Gah! Why can no one spell my name right?  I have been called all kinds of things. Veolis, Voivs, and now Veonis. But dont worry about it AHKHNP i guess it can happen to anyone   |

Sorry for the mistake Veovis. 
You see, i am from Greece. the letter {v} for us it's like {n} in english, that is why I wrote "Veonis" and not Veovis... 
You may ask why not mistake the first letter V, Well it's capital and .....
Anyway thanks for replying to my messages... I want to ask you something about the first question.

Let's suppose I have installed windows 2000 and changed the [windows] folder to [win] the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Extensions
would now be
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Win\CurrentVersion\Extensions
or the same?
Because in that case it is useless to search for a specific key since the path may differs from computer to computer.
So what I finally want is to find the path for the (Let's say --Extensions--) key |

| I think you'd need to use the Loop (registry) command (see the help file) and then check if the variables A_LoopRegSubKey or A_LoopRegName contain what you are interested in. |
