  Hi,
  
  Here's a sample (from MSDN):
  
  // registry_write.cpp
  // compile with: /clr
  using namespace System;
  using namespace Microsoft::Win32;

  int main()
  {
     // The second OpenSubKey argument indicates that
     // the subkey should be writable.
     RegistryKey^ rk;
     rk  = Registry::CurrentUser->OpenSubKey("Software", true);
     if (!rk)
     {
        Console::WriteLine("Failed to open CurrentUser/Software key");
        return -1;
     }

     RegistryKey^ nk = rk->CreateSubKey("NewRegKey");
     if (!nk)
     {
        Console::WriteLine("Failed to create 'NewRegKey'");
        return -1;
     }

     String^ newValue = "NewValue";
     try
     {
        nk->SetValue("NewKey", newValue);
        nk->SetValue("NewKey2", 44);
     }
     catch (Exception^)
     {
        Console::WriteLine("Failed to set new values in 'NewRegKey'");
        return -1;
     }

     Console::WriteLine("New key created.");
     Console::Write("Use REGEDIT.EXE to verify ");
     Console::WriteLine("'CURRENTUSER/Software/NewRegKey'\n");
     return 0;
  }
  
  

  Hope this gets you started...

  Hi Vikram,
  
       Thanks for reply my question.  The project is about to add registry into window 98 so that when we insert portable device into computer, it won't appear "Add new hardware wizard" but it can detect it directly. How can i do that thank you.

  Hi,
  
  
  The sample that I gave you is in Visual C++/CLI... It is the new approach or extension of C++ that targets the .net framework 2...
