Can aspnet_setreg.exe work for regular app.config files as well?

Hi Peter
I guess there is no problem with that if you give the process that will
read these registry keys later the appropriate permissions. I haven't try
it myself though

Peter,
I've never tried so I'm not sure - perhaps you should just give it a try and
see what happens.
However, if you want to implement the same type of functionality in your
app.config files, there is a very good article @
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/SecNetHT07.asp
This article talks you point by point through making a data protection DLL
that utilizes the Data Protection API DPAPI - which is the same API used by
the ASPNET_SETREG.
As an FYI, if you do decide to take this path: the ASPNET_SETREG uses the
Machine Store - and encryptes and decrypts the string values as Unicode.
Good Luck!

yes. It is not just restricted to asp.net web.config files.
