Registry problem

[erithracus]

Hello,

The C# application I am developing writes several issues using the Registry classes, to the registry. These issues are retreived later.
Apparently this works fine. If I close the application and restart it again, the correct values are retreived from the Registry.
However the nest time I start the computer the registry settings seem to be lost.

Is there anybody who knows how to make changes to the registry more permanent?

TIA,

Jan

Which part of the registry are you writing to? Part of it is wiped out after a reboot (HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG), part is per-user (HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_USERS), and part of it is maintained (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE).

And...

Is the computer under Systems Management Server? (which can reload the registry from a standard template at boot-time).

Chip,

Thanks for thinking with me.
The problem is solved now. It appeared to be related to a wrong use of the Registry class.

Where I did:
Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubkey(mykey);
Registry.LocalMachine.SetValue(mykey,"blabla"

I should have done:

RegistryKey regkey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubkey(mykey);
regkey.SetValue(mysubkey,"blabla"
