Forgetting RegCreateKey? Kinda important...
And of course RegCreateKeyEx, the complex version...

Some people will say that using INI-files is lame and the "old" method. Well this is far from true. So don't be fooled by them... (even if you are experienced with the registry, INI-files have benefits over the registry in many cases, just like the registry-method has some benefits over INI's)
True. RileyM: be sure you understand the differences between both methods and you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

You must use API's also (just like if you want to use the registry), I don't know the exact API's from the top of my head, but you sure will find them (or someone will list them here)....
APIs for read/write from/in an INI file:
GetPrivateProfileSectionNames, GetPrivateProfileSection, GetPrivateProfileInt, GetPrivateProfileString, WritePrivateProfileString
I used those in the last public version of the messenger plus translator, however there are some others more.
Note: Be careful with those APIs. Under windows 9x/Me there's a bug with them: You can't use filer larger than 65505 bytes (aprox)

Don't they deal with the INI file?
No, but I think there's some other function in VB that does that. I can't find it now (maybe i'm wrong and it doesn't exist)
