Guest Kelly Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Re: HKLM vs. HKEY HKEY_Current_User pertains to the profile you are using. HKEY_Local_Machine pertains to the whole system, specifically Admin. -- All the Best, Kelly (MS-MVP/DTS&XP) Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm SupportSpace http://www.supportspace.com/pages?aiu=kellyskorner "Bob Speck" <bobspeck@attglobal.net> wrote in message news:O8XGcQL4IHA.3484@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > What is the differfence between registry keys beginning with HKEY and > HKLM? > > Bob Speck
