Reading a registry

[hardslate]

Okay, so I am writing a script to install "local" printers via IP addresses, and have found that I need to make modifications to the registry in order to do so. In Windows 7 however, they have introduced a new key into the TCP/IP Port registry keys called "PortMonMibPortIndex" which essentially just tells the registry what order the ports are listed in. This presents a problem for me though, as I am wanting to write this script to install the port to the next available Index number.

What I am looking for is for a way to tell how many folders(/keys) are within a folder in the registry.

Output the 'folder' in the registry through the find command using /c and you can get a count.

If you need an exact command, and you can show the registry information that you need to count, then one of use can provide it for you.
