local machine access error?!!

[MrPolite]

I cant access the local machine subkey with teh registry class. it says I dont have access. Why? it's only like this with the LocalMachine key


edit: I was trying to add a key to LocalMachine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Post the code you are using.

[Edneeis]

Imports Microsoft.Win32
 
        Dim sKey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run", [color=red]True[/color])
        Dim value As String = sKey.GetValue("NoteTracker")
        sKey.SetValue("NoteTracker", Application.ExecutablePath)
        sKey.Close()

Make sure you have TRUE in the OpenSubKey because that allows you to edit the values.

hmmm, it's very weird. I was runnign the exact same thing yesterday and I was getting that error. But I dont get the error anymore (even without passing True to the function)
anyways, thanks for the tip, I'll use that
