You could also use an ini file. If you're stuck on the idea of using the registry use RegRead/RegWrite.

Just put the info you need. Read up on the Ini* functions in the helpfile, it's there for a reason .

an example of how to write to an ini file, the data that's entered into an input box.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

;Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Example()

Func Example()
    Local $file, $btn, $msg
    
    GUICreate(" My GUI input acceptfile", 320, 120, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 45, -1, 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES
    ;$file = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 300, 20)
    GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
    $ip=GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 35, 300, 20)     ; will not accept drag&drop files
    $btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20)

    GUISetState()

    $msg = 0
    While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
        Case $msg = $btn
            IniWrite("info.ini","input","data",GUICtrlRead($ip))
                ExitLoop
        EndSelect
    WEnd

    ;MsgBox(4096, "drag drop file", GUICtrlRead($file))
EndFunc   ;==>Example
