Hi Remy,

I tried following code, it works:

  TRegistry *Reg = new TRegistry;
  try
  {
    Reg->RootKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER;
    if (Reg->OpenKey("\\Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer", true))
    {
      ShowMessage("yes");
    }
  }
  __finally
  {
    Reg->CloseKey();
    delete Reg;
  }

but this fail:

 lResult = RegOpenKeyEx( HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
        "\\Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer", 0, KEY_READ,
&hKeyResult);

They are in the same program, I can't use TRegistry approach as i need to
access the registry before Application->Initialize();

anything I miss here?

Thanks,

Frank
