[RESOLVED] How can i use this code to add registry entry?

[.paul.]

to write to Registry.LocalMachine in vista or win7 you need admin privileges in your app, which requires vb2008+.

Project-->Properties-->Application-->View UAC Settings + follow the instructions in your app.manifest

to catch the key combination, set your form's keypreview property to true, then handle the keydown event:

Private Sub Form1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyDown
    Static ALT_F6_Pressed As Boolean = False
    If e.Modifiers = Keys.Alt AndAlso e.KeyValue = Keys.F6 AndAlso ALT_F6_Pressed = False Then
        ALT_F6_Pressed = True
    ElseIf e.Modifiers = Keys.Alt AndAlso e.KeyValue = Keys.F6 AndAlso ALT_F6_Pressed = True Then
        'edit registry
        ALT_F6_Pressed = False
    End If
End Sub
