asked on
creating a registry entry using vb6
I would like to make an entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE but in a directory (section) I specify "MyCompany\MyPackage" and finally my key "Registration Code"
So that the result would store my "Registration Code" key and value in the following area.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MyCompa
Also, currently I am storing this registration code simply in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
However, sometimes the value/key gets erased, is there a better place to store this value. Could this area change by loggin on as someone else or what should I look for?

I am currently using "RegCreateKey" however it does not create my "subdirectories" or sections below HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
-->>> MyCompany\MyPackage <<<<<----
That is what is not happening and I cannot find where you can add these.

Ok, your previous link looks like there is some info, it is not "spoon feeding me" thought ;). I will tinker with it tomorrow. Thanks for the help, once I succeed I will award the points. Any more "spoon feeding" would be appreciated!
