>In previous versions of FP, I had to make calls to Win32 (as I recall) to use registry entries (both write and read). Now I see that VFP6 has REGISTRY.VCX objects that have some promising properties (but little documentation), and I saw a recent article in VFP Advisor which used WScript for doing such things. I thought I saw another article that seemed much more direct, but I cannot seem to find it (perhaps my memory... what was I saying?)

If the answer is to use REGISTRY.VCX, perhaps someone could show me the syntax to create, read and write a reg entry in the HKCU section of the registry - 'cause the MSKB Q191638 is too wierd as an example.

The FFC registry class ses the same API calls; we've had threads over the past few weeks discussing various approaches. If you have code from VFP 5 that you're satisifed with, there's no reason to switch to the FFC Registry class. I didn't because my own code does a whole lot more, and I understand it well.
If you have the WSH installed on the system, the Wscript.Shell automation object has methods to read, write and delete string values; the FFC Registry class has more functionality, but requires that you read the code to figure out how to use it (the main thing is working out what to pass as parameters.)
