Complete Registry control

The cRegistry class is an easy, self-contained way to get complete access to the Windows registry. Simple methods allow you to create, enumerate and delete keys and values in the registry, without restriction. You can even read/write binary data to the registry. To see how powerful this library is, download the demonstration Registry Editor, written entirely in VB. Its not far off RegEdit shipped with Windows (although note in my version not all the features are finished!)

Setting Your Application to Automatically Run When Windows Starts

This source code shows how to automatically start an application when Windows starts using the registry. You can either have the application Auto-Start once next time Windows starts, or everytime Windows starts. The method uses my cRegistry class to make it easy to get the registry information.

Easy INI File Access

The cIniFile class is an easy, self-contained way to get complete access to INI files. Although use of INI files is no longer recommended under Windows (you should use the registry instead - see my Registry class for an easy migration from this method of using Ini files to using the registry) they are ultra simple to use. They also make it simpler to ship your application.
