Dim Reg_ClassRoot As RegistryKey = Registry.ClassesRoot
Reg_ClassRoot.CreateSubKey(".tbl").SetValue("", sRegistryDiscription)'this

My first guess is that your program is running under a limited user
account which iirc does not have permission to modify the Registry.

Thanks,

Run from a "User" process this will fail, because a "User" process is no
longer allowed to write to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (or, indeed, /most/ of the
Registry).

/Why/ are you trying to change this value?
It looks to me like your creating a file association - can you do this
as part of /installing/ your program (Installers run with Elevated
permissions and /would/ be able to update this key).

HTH,

.... not even unter Windows XP.

Slashes indicate italics. Asterisks represent *bold* text. Underscores
indicate _underlining_.

Some news clients will convert them on-screen, for example OE-Quotefix with
OE can. Doesn't Xnews have such an option?

It's an administrator account

1. I beleve it is not the programmers choice to force the user to accept.
I let them make the decicion. So it is an option in the menu. However if
that will be the only good solution I need to change that.

2. My program also runs on a computer without installing if framework 1.1 is
installed

Thanks Jan

The routine is in a try block with a message if not succeded

Nope, not that I'm aware off. Good to know
