VS 2008 (VB Express) Registry.GetValue question

Hi there.

I'm trying to read from:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\.Current

to get the value in: (Default)

using: strCurrentSound =
My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\Schemes\Apps\.Default\SystemStart\",
".Current", tmp)

But I can't get a value and I know there's a filename stored there.

Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?

Thanks,
Matt

To get the default value specify an empty string for the 2nd param.
