This may or may not be a WinAPI issue, but am looking for guidance as to how to read/write to the NT/Win2000 registry.

Under Win95/98/ME, a typical .ini file section would appear as:-

[Compression]
bCompressContents=1
bCompressColor=1

I currently access the data by converting the .ini file to a table and performing basic VFP functions to locate, replace with new value, etc, then using STRTOFILE() to save and overwrite the original .ini file, which is a simple but unsophisticated way of getting a result.

How does one approach the same problem in NT/Win2000 please?

TIA

Dennis
