Hi Ahamad,<br><br>There's a FAQ in the VB General Discussion forum which might be of interest to you. It's a VB FAQ but is mostly concerned with calls to the Win32API and so should be useful. <p>Mike<br><a href=mailto:michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com>michael.j.lacey@ntlworld.com</a><br><a href=

You can also use the REGEDIT /? from DOS prompt to see the command line options.&nbsp;&nbsp;It should read something like:<br><br>C:\WINNT\REGEDIT /D HEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PcSecure<br><br>NOTE--PcSecure is obviously a program of my design and I want to delete ONLY my prog's uninstall feature from the control panel's Uninstall screen. So that a user doesn't uninstall it again and get an err msg about not finding the UNINSTALL string.<br><br>Just be very <b>very</b> careful on what you delete.<br><br>Also, if you ment &quot;How to get to registry&quot; selete RUN and type in REGEDIT and the registry editor will begin.<br><br>Good Luck, Happy programming.<br><br>-MiggyD<br> <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>By the twitching of my thumb, something wicked this way comes........oh, it's only a boogy.
