I have never really moved from INI files to be honest so our app. running on Vista was pretty straight forward EXCEPT that it didnt like running under the "c:\program files\" folder for some reason. I didnt ever try to find out I must admit, but other than that the conversion was fine.<br>
<br>On that not, anyone tried Windows 7 yet? I am liking it so far.<br><br>Jeremy<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 7, 2009 at 3:34 PM, Robert martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rob@chreos.co.nz">rob@chreos.co.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi<br>
<br>
I cant find the resource I last used but there are heaps of web pages
about this. See link below for the codegear one hat has some
information that may be of use.<br>

Some time (before Vista) we made the jump out of the registry and back
to ini files and have never regretted it ! Certainly made Vista
enabling our app pretty easy :)<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
