Description | Use the queryRegistry function to get system settings on a Windows system. The first part of the keyPath should be one of the predefined handle values. If the keyPath ends in "\", the value returned is the default value for the key. If you specify a typeVariable, the type of the data in the registry entry is placed in that variable.
On Mac OS, OS X, and Unix systems, the queryRegistry function returns "not supported". |
