Non-Volitile Data Holding Question

Hello Group,

I have a VB app which includes a UTC (Universal Coordinated Time) clock. It
has to be configurable to account for different time zones and daylight
savings time. Once the user selects these settings, I need to keep them
somewhere so they will be available the next time (no pun intended) the app
starts.

Is there some secret cache somewhere which I could use. I had hoped to
avoid creating a file for such a miniscule need.

Thanks for this and prior help you have provided,

Stephen

You could probably just use the registry:

Steve.. lookup SaveSetting in help. I think that will do the trick without
having to write an entire suite of registry read and write.
