If you use the FFC registry class this example may help you understand. Make sure you include the registry.h file in your form so HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE is defined.

LOCAL cOptName, cOptVal, cKeyPath, nUserKey, lCreateKey

WITH ThisForm
cOptName = "DataPath"
cOptVal = SPACE(256)
cKeyPath = "Software\MickeyMouse\"
nUserKey = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

* Get the registry value from the key
.Registry.GetRegKey(cOptName, @cOptVal, cKeyPath, nUserKey)
.txtCurrentPath.Value = cOptVal

ENDWITH
