narayanjr Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Are they any dangers in creating and editing my own registry keys? I want to use a registry key to save a password but i know that it is not the smartest thing to be messing around with the registry and wanted to make sure there is very little chance of messing something up if i create the keys myself. If it is relatively safe where exactly would i create them? Like, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, HKEY_CURRENT_USER, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, ect. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingboz Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 don't screw up. if you're scared, make sure you know how to recover/ have your system fully backed up. Otherwise, don't screw up and you'll be fine. Reading the help file before you post... Not only will it make you look smarter, it will make you smarter.
