I have a small program that can be installed on different PC(s). On each PC the program is installed I want a registry key with the name and the refresh rate.

Form the main program I want to "send" the name and refresh rate to that PC.

So basically I want to write a value in the registry of another PC.

Is that possible or am I dreaming?

I'm not sure what you are asking.

Do you want the program to write a value to the registry of the machine it is running on, or do you want it to write to the registry on a remote machine?

Assuming you have the permissions, you could establish some sort of inter-process link (over network, etc.) between your "main" program and the "slave" programs on the remote PCs. This link could then deliver commands to the slave programs which would direct them to do the appropriate writing to the registry.

You would, of course, have to have written such functionality into the slave programs, but it sounds like this is a situation where you can do that.

For some more information on inter-process communications check out our Tutor's Corner - there are several examples based on different technologies.
