Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply.

Currently None of my apps write anything to the registry. They use ini files, accessed by an ini file reader, written by me, and accessing ini files also written by me. The software was used under my control to run our businesses. Sofar, Licence issues where not a problem, because I held the only CD in existence. The software was written purely as an indoor aid to our business.


We are now trying to market the software as such, and in order to provide for secure licencing, we have come to the conclusion that a variety of parameters should be stored in the registry rather than in ini files. All I have done sofar has been verified to work from XP down to win95.

The software before attempting to converting to the registry runs successfully and efficiently on machines from win95 upwards. I do not want to loose that compatibility either.

The NT hardware outlay is that All machines run as 'No Administrator Assigned' level. All Machines run my software exclusively, (like a sales terminal in a supermarket) and all Software settings are machine settings. Any form of User customising MUST BE ABSOLUTELY OUTLAWED!!.

Under XP this can be achieved successfully by storing things under HKLM\Software\MySoftware. By reports, Vista would defy this for it's re-directing (or virtualisaton) of this key to HKCU.

So the question becomes: Where do I store System Wide Software Params in the registry in a way that they remain system wide and can be retrieved under any os from win95 to vista

Regards

Bram van Kampen
