Check Registry value limits[^] It's better not to store huge data inside registry. it will increase the registry size, of the registry and also affects the performance. As per the recommendation from MSFT, data above 2KB should be stored as file.

Even i restricted the size the value does not appear at the registry.Below is the code: CString szRegData = "NEW"; CString strData = "abcd"; HKEY hMainKey; DWORD dwsize = strData.GetLength(); if(RegOpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"Software\\abc\\abc\\Current Version",&hMainKey)==ERROR_SUCCESS) { if(RegSetValueEx(hMainKey,szRegData,NULL,REG_BINARY,(LPBYTE)strData.GetBuffer(),dwsize)==ERROR_SUCCESS) { strData.ReleaseBuffer(); RegCloseKey(hMainKey); return TRUE; } RegCloseKey(hMainKey); } Thanks &Regards, kDevloper

Why are you trying to add a string as binary data? Are you doing a
UNICODEbuild? Who (or, probably, what) is giving you '825243701'? Where are you at 8:30 pm of yesterday (to complete the enquiry... :rolleyes: )? :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

[My articles]Hi Palini, It's not a kind of UNICODE Build, i have a set of values as say "12324323242300000",which i need to add to registry as REG_BINARY. The earlier vaue was as a result of a different way of implementation. but lets forget the giant value. i hope the lines of code will be my final way to implement :-D . Hey wat's dat " WER r u at...." Regards, KDevloper
