You can't do that; reading/writing registry values is highly platform dependent
and Java is supposed to know zilch about the platform it runs on. You have to
use JNI (Java Native Interface) for those purposes. If you do so you tie your
program to one single platform, e.g. it won't run on Linux or whatever non Windows.
