Hi guys,

I want to read values in this key " HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings "

I tried to use this code :

const {Cc, Ci} = require("chrome"); var wrk = Cc["@mozilla.org/windows-registry-key;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIWindowsRegKey); wrk.open(wrk.ROOT_KEY_CURRENT_USER, "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Internet Settings", wrk.ACCESS_READ); var ProxyEnable = wrk.readStringValue("ProxyEnable"); var IP = wrk.readStringValue("IP"); var Port = wrk.readStringValue("Port"); wrk.close();

But it doesn't work.
