How to watch registry changes?

[crum66]

I would like to watch a specific registry key, and when it changes I would like to set another registry key.

Does anyone have any suggestions of how to do this? I want to make sure I do it in the most efficient way.

By the way, I am on Windows 95, so the use of RegNotifyChangeKeyValue will not work, as it is only supported in Win98 and WinNT. Are there any other ways?

THANKS!

Dave

You can use the GetSetting
Place a label on a form, and type the following code:


Private Sub Form_Load()
Label1.Caption = GetSetting(Appname:="SomeApp" , Section:="SomeSection", Key:="SomeKey")

Well, I need a little more than this. You see, I need to have this process constantly running (preferably in the background with no user interface). And when it finds that a particular registry value has changed, I need to act on that and change another registry value. And when it happens again, do the same thing (and so on).

Any ideas?
