Two things: 1) You can concatenate your two
OpenSubKeycalls:RegistryKey hkMicrosoft = hkcu.OpenSubKey(@"Software\\Microsoft");- The OpenSubkey has 4 overloads. If you look it up on MSDN the last one allows you to specify the
RegistryKeyPermissionCheck(what you can do with subkeys), andRegistryRights(read only, read/write TakeOwnership etc.). I am still on XP, so I don't know how this applies under Vista and Weven, which I know are a bit more picky about these sorts of things. Hope that this is of some help! :)

The only thing that I would say is, don't use the Microsoft subkey for writing to. Create your own subkey under Software for messing about with IshaanTesting or something like that. :)
