Have a look at SaveSettings and GetSettings for your own applications'
regkey reading and wiritng  they should suffice. It confines your
access to a certain area in the registry allocated for VB
applications.

If you want to get into "real" registry stuff, take a look at Randy's
site, allapi or any of the usual VB sites for an example of
RegQueryValueEx and it's friends, or consult the MSDN on all the
Regxxxxxxxx registry functions.
These give you access to all the keys in the registry, but are a fair
bit hairier to look at and work with, so be prepared for a bit of API
fun till you get them right.

' Place some settings in the registry.
SaveSetting appname := "MyApp", section := "Startup", _
            key := "Top", setting := 75
SaveSetting "MyApp","Startup", "Left", 50
' Remove section and all its settings from registry.
DeleteSetting "MyApp", "Startup"

there is also a GetSetting Function
