Here, we want to access of existing **subkey** ([i have already created **subkeys**](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33898/how-to-create-a-new-subkeys-under-registry). ) value.for retrieving **subkey** values, we used **GetValue** method . code is below: \

```
        RegistryKey key;                key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Anupam Software");                String s = (String)key.GetValue("Anupam");                Console.WriteLine("Registry Value: " + s);
```

**Output:**
