how to read/write System Registry keys

[kalichakradhar]

hi,

I am new to VB.. I am dedveloping a tool in which there would be a browser/text box to open the desired file.. the problem here is that i want to remember the old file that i opened last time when i run the exe.. i came to know that this can be done by adding the file name as keys in the system registry. I wanted to know how can i edit/read/write into system registry using VB 6.0. I want to create a registry entry and add keys with the file names. please tell me the syntax and the necessary components to be added to get the desired result

thanks

Yes that may happen. But that is Necessary for any application for there initial values

But make sure you have to play within the registry key created by you.
