http://www.windowsnetworking.com/art...ate-Part1.html if you would've typed what i said in google this wouldve came up first, which it did before when i did, it gives you a key(s) and explains what it means, then just use the variety of registry-related classes and such under the microsoft.win32 namespace, and thats in vb, idk about c++ Google it for api's and such
