Code:

alias registry.read {
  var %key = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\\Fonts
  echo -a $regread(%key)
}

alias -l regread {
  var %a = regread $+ $ticks, %c
  .comopen %a WScript.Shell
  if (!$comerr) {
    var %b = $com(%a,RegRead,3,bstr,$1-), %c = $com(%a).result
    .comclose %a
  }
  return $iif((%c),$ifmatch,Error)
}

Means, coms using WMI: - will not work innately at 95, 98, 98SE, NT4 (but, it's possible to download WMI for these at microsoft.com) - will work innately at ME, 2k, XP, 2003, Vista... (as WMI is embedded there) The com given here does not use WMI, it will work on any Windows. EDIT: P.S. Note that above-mentioned WMI compatibility issues apply for prevalent dlls (like moo.dll / darkengine*.dll): the only difference is that they provide compiled code.
