>Hi all. We just started testing on WindowsXP and ran across something we hadn’t thought of. When the framework creates the registry entries for the program, they are put in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If our users create accounts for different people in XP, only the user that installed our software can see the keys. To make the registry available to all users, we’re thinking they need to be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. Is this a correct assumption?

Randy,

While HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE isn't a bad choice (and, BTW, the registry class that comes with VFP in the FFC folder can do what you need), I think I'd opt for the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT as the location for the information. There are a couple of reasons for this.

First, the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive is actually a portion of the HKEY_USERS hive.

Second, it would seem to be a more logical place for the type of information you're storing.
