whats better... rigistry or ini ?

hi all,

whats the advantages of using the registiry to store app settings rather than an ini file? which one is better etc..

INI files were used in older versions of Windows. With the new versions, they were replaced by the Registry. It's less 'hackable' because not many ordinary people (non-computer experts) know about it.

I think the registry is better, because it's easy to save and get settings

Registry:
+ Easy to use
+ Stays wherever you move the app
- Leaves when you copy the app to another comp
- Goes, if the Os crashes and registry screws up
Ini:
+ It's a file, you can move it, and copy the app to other comps
- anyone can delete or change the file
