My guess would be:
SaveSetting
GetSetting
GetAllSettings
although not having ever used vl-registry-read, I'm not sure they're the
same.

Go to

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/downloads/addins/default.asp

in the middle of the list is regobj.dll. This will give you everything that
you need to manipulate the registry, docs are included.

I agree with this - GetSetting etc. are good for storing your own settings
for some customized apps / controls, etc. but if you want good control of
the registry use the regobj.dll. I've used it now for several routines and
can forward them if you want to take a look.
