How can I programmatically create a DWORD value in the registry?

I've pored over the newsgroups and have not been successful in finding code
that works.

I have admin rights to my machine.

Surely someone must have created a simple wrapper function where I can
perform something like:

Psuedo:

Dim regDword As String
Dim regDwordVal as String
regDword = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\MyDword"
regDwordVal = "333"
If NOT DwordExists(regDword )
CreateDword(regDword , regDwordVal)
End If

Also, I'd love to be able to query the Dword value too. E.g.

Msgbox GetDwordVal(regDword)


Thanks.
 
Bravo. That's the best collection of stuff I've seen. The only thing that
would make it less intimidating would be sample code. I had to play around
with it to get it to work. Not necessarily bad, but I'm not exactly crazy
about poking around the registry unless I know what's gonna happen.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate the help. This is great.
