<p style="color: grey"> Ruby recipe 578340 by <a href="/recipes/users/4184115/">greg zakharov</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/codecs/">codecs</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/ironruby/">ironruby</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/registry/">registry</a>). </p> <p>On WinXP (there is no other Windows in my VMWare Player :) you can do it with Ruby in the next way:</p> <p>require 'win32/registry'</p> <p>Win32::Registry::HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.open( 'CLSID{083863F1-70DE-11d0-BD40-00A0C911CE86}\Instance' ) do |reg| reg.each_key do |key| val = reg.open(key) puts val['FriendlyName'] end end</p> <p>But what about extended information, aah? I'm talking about script which shows additional data such as CLSID and codec location. With IronRuby it can be done so easy.</p>
