    Here is what I am trying to accomplish. I am making a simple application launcher using windows forms. I am trying to find a way to find a application based on a registry point. I have been using the shell command but quickly learned if the program is not in the directory specified the application fails. So I would like to look in the registry to find the path rather then using a absolute directory.

    I am rather new to this but below is where I was heading...and it is wrong

    [code]
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Shell("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\App\load.exe")
    End Sub
    [\code]

    Thank you for help!

    You cannot launch an application from a registry key, unless a key happens to store the full path to an application and you already know where this key lives.

    Searching the registry can be quite involved as well, and time-consuming, unless you know more or less where a particular key or value lives.

    Are you new to VB.NET, or new to using the Registry? If the first then I recommend you leave the registry alone until you have covered the fundamentals of the language.

    If you are attempting to launch a specific, well-known, application then you might not need the location, if it is stored in the environment-paths:

    
Shell("Notepad.exe")

    Shell returns a FileNotFoundException so you could try..catch this.
