Say you download a software with a 30-day trial period. You copy it into a directory you crate for it. After 30 days, you delete it leaving the data files intact, and just install it again. You can do indefinitely. With installation, some un-obvious registry keys are created that make it impossible to just install it a second time. I believe that is the whole point of using the registry. For settings, I would still prefer an .ini file or such ratehr than the registry, preferrably in ASCII format. -- Cheers, Thomas.
