Do you have the rights to access the registry ?
Does you subKey exist ?
Does you subKey exist ?
That seems overly complicated, here is how I do it:
SaveSetting("APPLICATION_N
GetSetting("APPLICATION_NA
DeleteSetting(APPLICATION_
These values will be stored in the registry under "My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SaveSetting("APPLICATION_N
GetSetting("APPLICATION_NA
DeleteSetting(APPLICATION_
These values will be stored in the registry under "My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Well the code samples given have been to access anywhere in the registry... hence the "complication"
