I am a newbie so please forgive me if my terminology is incorrect.I am trying to Update a Registry sub key value. I have done this a few times before with success. But this time is kinda different. I noticed a few things,like the sub key value is in HEX when I export the key (The value that I want to input is from a sub key that I exported) I can only get the registry to accept the command if I do not specify the registry value kind, but that doesn't do me any good if its not the correct value kind.

View 3 RepliesI need to save a setting which is then available to all users of the application on the given machine. It needs to work on Vista/Win 7, and the application won't be started as administrator.
Can't Save to program directory as the Program Files folder is protected on Vista Can't save to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as that's protected too Can't save to server or web-service Where can I save data to? Even if the application rights were somehow elevated during execution, the registry is now virtualised in Vista - and so I will end up with a special HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which is actually only for the current user.
I had following form.How to store and retrieve the user setting? So the next time the app will run the information as had saved? I had found related example,but not very understand about it.[URL]The setting i want to save is background image from resource, forecolor, checkbox and trackbar.

I'm trying to create an app to launch at start up that will ask you what applications you want launching, or if you want all your favorite app's to start up etc. But before I go any further, I think its crucial to know how to save settings that a user has entered (such as program location and name in this case) so that he/she doesn't have to enter them every time at start up.
So far I have just made this, can anyone tell me how I would get it to save the settings entered?
