John, do yourself & everyone else a favor & create an ini file in your app's
directory & leave the registry etc alone. I hate waiting for windows to
process a bloated registry of deleted or non existant app entries. VB 1.0
did get one thing right. Leave your stuff out of the system directory too.
I agree with the registry advice, but the advice to use an .ini file
in the app's folder is not as sound. Windows Vista may not allow your
program access to the program's folder. There is a "Program Data"
folder, I believe, that is used for that purpose, or you could use the
user's documents folder for that purpose. So if your app target's
Windows Vista, keep this in mind.
