Working with WIndows Registry

I am trying to write to the registry and the objects that are suppose to be
handling this function are not working. Here is what is happening.

I am issuing the following commands:
RegistryKey reg;
reg = Registry.Curren tUser.CreateSub Key("Software\\ SofTek
Software\\SSILi cense\\Settings ");

reg = Registry.Curren tUser.OpenSubKe y("Software\\my key\\mysubkey\\ Settings",
true);

reg.SetValue("D BPath", "c:\\temp") ;

when I execute these lines, the function does write to the registry,
however, it does not write to HKEY_Current_Us er. Its writing to HKEY_USER.
There are no entries at all in CurrentUser like the command suggests that
its writing to.

Can anyone help me with this as its been a real pain. I do this sort of
thing in Delphi everyday and have never had any problems. Can C# not work
with the registry? NOTE: I've also tried writing to other keys such as
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE but it doesn't write to the registry at all when I use
it.

Its not an authorization issue as I'm currently logged in as ADMINISTRATOR
while running these tests...

Thanks,

glenn

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs. The last exercise I practiced was to create a LAN-to-LAN VPN between two Pfsense firewalls, by using IPSEC protocols. I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
