From a programmer's point of view, the registry is basically a convenient place to store settings & simple data associated with your program. Think of it as a database.

For example, if you wanted your program to 'remember' the last few documents the user had accessed (MRU list), you would store these in the registry. The next time your program was run, it would load these values from the registry and make them available to the user.

Have a look in the VB help for SaveSetting, GetSetting
