How do I read all registry keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"?

Then, I want to import them to a listbox

I've found a few methods to do this, but you have to know the exact key name to read it.

I am making a start up editor that looks somewhat like this:

Thank you, mpfeif101, that was very helpful.
01 Dim EnabledRun As Collection
02 Dim DisabledRun As Collection
03 Dim strK As Variant
04 Const E_Run_Path = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
05 Const D_Run_Path = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\HS_Disabled_Run"
06
07 Private Sub Form_Load()
08
09    Set EnabledRun = EnumRegistryValues(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, E_Run_Path)
10    Set DisabledRun = EnumRegistryValues(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, D_Run_Path)
11    
12    For Each strK In EnabledRun
13        For Counter = 0 To UBound(strK)
14            lstEnabled.List = strK(Counter) '<<<This isn't working
15        Next
16    Next
17
18 End Sub
So, now I am having trouble with the ListBox. See line 14.
' EnumRegistryValues - Retrieve all values under a Registry key
'Date: 4/8/2000 Updated: 7/4/2000
'Versions: VB4/32 VB5 VB6 Level: Intermediate
'Author: The VB2TheMax Team


' Enumerate values under a given registry key
'
' returns a collection, where each element of the collection
' is a 2-element array of Variants:
'    element(0) is the value name, element(1) is the value's value
What I need to do now is print the name(0) and element(1) of each value, one line per 1 name and 1 element.

I have had no experience with the "Collection" object, so I half-way know what I am doing here.

Please note that I am not a very experienced coder here, so bear with me.

Thanks in advance, Daniel.

UPDATE:
I found this
   Set RandomCrap  = EnabledRun.Item(1)
    
    MsgBox RandomCrap
I have tried making the RandomCrap object many different object types like String, Integer, and String. It just won't work...

Any Ideas?

I really stink a programming....
