I never did like the registry. I would store data in flat files in the user's profile, in a platform-independent way. XML is good for this, although verbose. My personal philosophy is that if a user cannot use a text editor to edit a program's configuration, or cannot easily copy a configuration file to another machine, the configuration is not portable enough. While registry entries are exportable and importable, it is a pain to do and most users (even experienced ones) would be lost. -- John Gaughan http://www.jtgprogramming.org/
