how to take registry backup

By using the following CWinApp member functions:

- 'CWinApp::GetProfileString()'
- 'CWinApp::GetProfileInt()'
- 'CWinApp::WriteProfileString()'
- 'CWinApp::WriteProfileInt()'

Before calling any of above functions, you have to call 'CWinApp::SetRegistryKey()'. This causes application settings to be stored in the registry instead of regualr INI files.

Further, 'CWinApp' registry functions will read/write under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\<'lpszRegistryKey' argument of 'SetRegistryKey()'>\<lpszsection'> SetRegistryKey(_T("Zerolei Software"));

// Read "User Name" registry entry (value) from
// HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zerolei Software\MyApp\Login key
m_strUserName = GetProfileString(m_pszLoginSection, m_pszUserNameEntry);

// ...
return TRUE;
}

int CMyApp::ExitInstance()
{
// write 'm_strUserName' in "User Name" registry entry (value) under
// HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zerolei Software\MyApp\Login key
WriteProfileString(m_pszLoginSection, m_pszUserNameEntry, m_strUserName);

// ...
return CWinApp::ExitInstance();
}


Let me know if this works :-)
