I vote a big NO on this idea.  Using the registry for
storage means that in
the event of corruption, the entire OS is open for
damage, not just the
setup for an individual program.  Also, the registry
is much harder to edit
for people who need to do manual configuration or who
need to recover from
some kind of problem.

I used the registry for storing settings in the
original version of R:Code,
and have moved away from it in later programs. 
Sometimes the new ways are
not better ways.
