**Vista and Clarion Built-in Registry Functions**

On Vista, a (non-elevated) app can READ the registry key HKLM (local machine) with no problems, but as far as writing to the Registry it needs to use HKCU (current user).

If you code sign your executable and run with elevated privileges then you can write to HKLM.

**Example:**

**  PROGRAM**

**  MAP**

**  END**

**  INCLUDE('EQUATES')**

**MyQueue             QUEUE,PRE(my)**

**RegValues               STRING(40)**

**                    END**

**  CODE**

**   GETREGVALUES(REG_CURRENT_USER,'Control Panel\Current',MyQueue)**

**  **

**   LOOP I# = 1 TO RECORDS(MyQueue)**

**        GET(MyQueue,I#)**

**        MESSAGE(my:RegValues) !Displays "Color Schemes"**

**   END**
