| Dave,
| According to MSDN the SetValue method:
|
| <quote>
| Value allowed in the registry can be DWORD, binary, and string. String
| values can be represented as the following categories...
| </quote>
|
| In VB.NET a QWORD (64-bit number) would be a Long, however reading
| RegistryKey.SetValue I get the impression its simply not supported...
|
| Hope this helps

|| I'd like to create a Registry key value where the Registry key value
