Couple of things needed - Catching keys and reading the registry.

I need some help-

1) Is there any way of catching keys (like the keypress event) but catch them when the program isn't the active window (like a key logger).

2) Read info from the registry e.g HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/network/user

THANX

There are a few examples on the planet source code site, here's, just do a search for key log. Here's two links to get started....

For reading the registry you might want to try the regobj class library on Microsoft's Visual Studio website, it allows you to access the entire registry as an object tree.
