This works on XP...But it takes 10-15 seconds to complete. And still not sure it'll work as well on win 8.

 Code:
$regVal = readvalue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer TrayNotify","IconStreams") + readvalue("HKCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify","IconStreams")

$nul = messagebox(RegBinaryToString($regval),"",0)

function RegBinaryToString($values)
   $strInfo = ""
   for $i=1 to Len($values) step 2
      $value = SubStr($values,$i,2)
      if $value<>0
         $strInfo=$strInfo + chr(Val("&"+$value))
      endif
   next  
   $RegBinaryToString=$strInfo
EndFunction
