Updating the Windows registry. |

| 7 |
Updated the routine to return a TRUE or FALSE for a key delete. |

Perform the four basic functions on the Windows registry using |
| 10 |
string or numeric data. |

Delete |

Important: All Key data strings should be treated as case |
| 18 |
sensitive. Always backup your registry |
| 19 |
(System.dat and User.dat) before performing any |
| 20 |
type of updates. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Software developers vary on where they want to update the |
| 23 |
registry with their particular information. The most common |
| 24 |
are in HKEY_lOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
This has been tested on Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
This was NT tested by Brett Gerhardi (Brett.Gerhardi@trinite.co.uk) |
| 29 |
He found that Windows NT requires that you delete each major |
| 30 |
key separately. Windows 95/98 can delete the top level key |
| 31 |
and all the sub level keys in one command. |

All of my routines have been compiled with VB6 Service Pack 3. |
| 38 |
There are several locations on the web to obtain these |
| 39 |
modules. |

Whenever I use someone else's code, I will give them credit. |
| 42 |
This is my way of saying thank you for your efforts. I would |
| 43 |
appreciate the same consideration. |

|
| 45 |
Read all of the documentation within this program. It is very |
| 46 |
informative. Also, if you learn to document properly now, you |
| 47 |
will not be scratching your head next year trying to figure out |
| 48 |
exactly what you were programming today. Been there, done that. |
