Hello,

I'm having to make changes to Windows XP now and then - presently I'm
running REGEDIT and then finding the key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE) that
I need to change and changing it manually. That is working fine but I would
like to change this from my dBase Plus program. I've looked at Ken's
BDERegistrySettings program but that only deals with BDE issues. If anybody
has any ideas, I want to try them. I would much rather have my program make
these changes than me having to manually do them.

Thanks,

Jerry Rivenbark

that's all ready to run. Look at registry.prg in folder dBase/Plus/Samples

There's a program in the SAMPLES folder of dBASE called Registry.prg
that allows you to create, read, write entries in the registry.
