2 simple VBA/VB functions that write to specific place in the registry. Here is my library of code on this:
GetSetting(App.EXEName, "Properties", strPropertyName)
SaveSetting(App.EXEName, "Properties", strPropertyName, Trim(CStr(varValue)))
Specific place:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings
If you issue a GetSetting when none exists, it simply returns an empty string. If you issue a SaveSetting where no entry exists, it simply creates the entry and places the value in the entry. Essentially , these have built in error handling.

I've seen ASP components that required access to the registry in order to validate they were legal. I.e. the installer of the component wrote some serial number or something to the registry, which the ASP scripts checked. Nasty, but true. Just saying that he may well have a genuine need for it.
