Could anyone provide me with an example of RegCreateKeyEx in use, please? In particular, what Classes may be used in the lpClass parameter?
Class is just the name of one of the hive subkeys, not a VB class module.
Code:Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
Const REG_OPTION_BACKUP_RESTORE = 4 ' open for backup or restore
Const REG_OPTION_VOLATILE = 1 ' Key is not preserved when system is rebooted
Const REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE = 0 ' Key is preserved when system is rebooted
Const STANDARD_RIGHTS_ALL = &H1F0000
Const SYNCHRONIZE = &H100000
Const READ_CONTROL = &H20000
Const STANDARD_RIGHTS_READ = (READ_CONTROL)
Const STANDARD_RIGHTS_WRITE = (READ_CONTROL)
Const KEY_CREATE_LINK = &H20
Const KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY = &H4
Const KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS = &H8
Const KEY_NOTIFY = &H10
Const KEY_QUERY_VALUE = &H1
Const KEY_SET_VALUE = &H2
Const KEY_READ = ((STANDARD_RIGHTS_READ Or KEY_QUERY_VALUE Or KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS Or KEY_NOTIFY) And (Not SYNCHRONIZE))
Const KEY_WRITE = ((STANDARD_RIGHTS_WRITE Or KEY_SET_VALUE Or KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY) And (Not SYNCHRONIZE))
Const KEY_EXECUTE = (KEY_READ)
Const KEY_ALL_ACCESS = ((STANDARD_RIGHTS_ALL Or KEY_QUERY_VALUE Or KEY_SET_VALUE Or KEY_CREATE_SUB_KEY Or KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS Or KEY_NOTIFY Or KEY_CREATE_LINK) And (Not SYNCHRONIZE))

Many thanks for the information, it's helped me resolve the problem I was having.
