registry key

[Guest]

hi,
i've a requirement to scan the registry keys programatically in a console
application and read the data of the keys..
given a registry key, say,"HKEY_USERS". user should be able to scan the
subkeys of the given key recursively(i.e. all the subkeys of the given
subkeys etcc..) till the last indent level....

i've used a recursion to do so..but it's taking lot of time..
is there any efficient way to acheive it.....

Dictionary<string, string> dicSubKeyNamesAndValues = new Dictionary<string,
string>();
using (RegistryKey objRegKey =
RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.Users, "<machine name>"))
{
using (RegistryKey objSubKey = objRegKey.OpenSubKey("<key to start
from">))
{
if (objSubKey!= null)
{
foreach (string strSubKey in objSubKey.GetValueNames())
{
dicSubKeyNamesAndValues.Add(strSubKey,
objRegKey.GetValue(strSubKey).ToString());
}
}
}
}
