Registry Entries for my app

Hello again

When I want to install my app I use InstallShield 5.5. I've never really paid much attention to registry settings, however. My question is this: where should I store my application registry settings for my install? For example, I've noticed the SetSetting/GetSetting functions in VB only change keys under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/HKEY_USERS keys. When I install my app on a machine should my app's registry entries by under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? (I'm using Nt4.0 BTW)

Cheers

Simon

I would think if there are any security issues, you would want to
avoid HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE since that hive should require admin
permissions (maybe it is read-only for all users). I could be wrong
though.
