Introduction
In the days of Windows 3.x, if you wanted to save any application settings, such as the window size, toolbars hidden or shown etc. you would have saved that information to an INI file. However, since 32 bit windows (ie Windows 9x), these settings are stored in one location; the registry.

this will create a key under hkeylocalmachine\software
named MyFirstKey
and under that key it will set the default subkey to equal c:\progran files\my
and create another key called Example with the value of 1
'Get RegEdit.Server object
Set S = CreateObject("RegEdit.Server")
'Get a key
Set Key = S.GetKey("HKLM\SOFTWARE")
'Add a new key
Set MyKey = Key.CreateKey("MyFirstKey")
'or Set MyKey = Key.SubKeys.Add("MyFirstKey")
'Set String and DWORD values
MyKey.Values("") = "C:\Program Files\My"
S.GetKey("HKLM\SOFTWARE\MYFIRSTKEY").Values("Example")="1"
Does anyone know how to set a Dword value in the registry??
On keydown, set movement to Up.
On keyup, set movement to None.
Then when you press the key, the player moves up, and when you release it they stop. The repeat won't have any effect.
How do you stope the pause after a keypress? For Example, if you have a game where the arrow key's are used and the player is walking by holding down the arrow key, the player will walk a step, pause then continue walkking.
You can test this by opening note pad and hit any key and hold down... notice the pause that occurs be for the key is repeated:
a aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
^-Simulated pause
Thanks in advance for any leads!

Yes I tried this too, but you can't access anything outside the VB Registry and the User Restry. How do you access things in the Root or under HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SOFTWARE
