Hi Timothy!

First: It is not recommended to use the registry to store informations...
The main reason for this is that it does not support roaming-profiles.
Instead you should use
- CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA for common data
- CSIDL_APPDATA for roaming user data
- CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA for local user data
The subfolder to create to store user data files in is:
[company name]\[product name]\[version].
You can download the specification here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=209E3D65-F0BE-4EEF-8602-73BB9BC29D54
This means I am really supposed to go back to .ini files ?


Or whatever storage you like... (XML?)
