It's impossible to read a user's registry with server-side code;
however, it's very possible to access the registry on the Windows
server. Just create a "WScript.Shell" COM object (e.g, by
CreateObject() in VBS) and then use methods like RegRead, RegWrite,
RegDelete, etc.

Accessing the registry on a Windows server, is accessing the registry of the
server, not the client. Javascript has *no*, none, nada, zilch, access to my
registry. It may have access to an ActiveX componenet, or equivalent, that will
have access if I allow it (the "rape my computer security settings"). Even
then, Javascript isn't accessing it, it is only recieving information about it
from elsewhere.
