Usage at a Glance

• To access the settings for the current Windows user, use the My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser property instead.

• You must have sufficient security permissions to read or write keys and values in the registry.

Example

The following example displays all of the sub-elements of the HKEY_USERS registry key element in a listbox control. The example assumes that you are using this code on a form with a defined ListBox1 control.
