The File.openWithDefaultApplication() method prohibits modification of .reg (registry) files in Windows, but can it READ these values?
I am interested in finding the user selected value for Desktop icons ( the registry value at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics\Shell Icon Size" gives this value)
Since this method would open the registry in the default application, not your AIR application, I don't see how it could help you read indivdual registry values.
