microsoft公司在windows nt3.51开始提出了注册表（registry）的概念。注册表是windows的一个重要组成部分，它保存了windows中的各种配置参数。windows的各个功能模块和安装的应用模块，在启动时都要读取注册表的信息，并根据这些参数来设置自己的运行环境，我们就可以把注册信息写入注册表来实现程序的共享注册。
在vb中，有两种方法可以访问注册表：第一种是使用vb提供的函数：
private sub command1_click()
dim keyname as string’创建的项目名称
dim subkeyname as string’项目下的子项
dim valuename as string’子项下的值项名称
dim value1 as string’值项的值
keyname=”mykey”
subkeyname=”mysubkey”
valuename=”myvaluename”
value1=”my new key!”
’查询是否存在myvaluename值项，如果不存在，返回noexit
ret=getsetting(keyname,subkeyname,valuename,”noexit”)
if ret=”noexit”then
’如果不存在myvaluename值项，则创建该值项
savesetting keyname,subkeyname,valuename,value1
else
’如果存在，则删除这个程序项mykey
deletesetting(keyname)
end if
end sub
创建的默认位置为hkey_current_user\software\vb and vba program settings下
第二种使用windows api函数处理注册表

打开注册表项
lresult = regopenkeyex(hkey_current_user, "software\mykey", 0, key_all_access, hkeymykey)

写入值项
szvalue = "hello workd!"

关闭注册表项

利用程序加密的安全性稍微低一些，如果您的软件价值很高的话，推荐使用加密狗（目前主流已经到了第三代），它的可靠性要高很多。如果您对加密解密非常感兴趣的话可以拜读一下段刚老大的《加密与解密》一书，或登陆看雪论坛交流。
