Thank you.
I have thought about that.
Can I use Environ function to point to:
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data?
When I use Environ("appdata") it points to current user.

Hello,
My app stores preferences in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
This works fine for one particular user.
Now, I would like to make the preference available for all users.
Which registry key should I use?
HKEY_USERS or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?
It must be accessible all the time by all users not only
administrator. Your thoughts please,

Use an INI file or other external storage for app settings; the registry
is
the wrong place despite MS pushing it in the past.
