Hello everyone.
I am writing an application in VB6 where I want to remotely change some
settings of another application already installed on the same computer. For
example one of many settings that I want to reset is an 'AutoSave' value from
3 minutes to 1 minute for that other application. I know these settings are
in the Windows Registry and I would like to be able to change this
information from my VB6 application. Is there an easy function that will do
this?

Thanks in advance,

Tim Christopher

You'll need to use the registry API; there are lots of samples and several
class objects that wrap them up for you. Try poking around
