>How an asp application can read the client registry. Because if we make a active x control to access all such informations then that control can only send information about the server registry, not the the client registry. So I can do one think that download the activex control to client m/c at the time of browsing and register that application. Now can you tell me how can I run that active x control and get back the information to the server.



You make an ActiveX control (OCX) that you package in a cab file with the Package and Deployment Wizard. You then insert the control in the page with the Object tag. You then write JavaScript or VBScript that will run client side to manipulate your control and place whatever information you want to send in an hidden HTML form field. Also, keep in mind that this will only work in IE.

Now reading information form the Registry in a Web page and sending it is something that should not be done unless the users are fully aware of it.
