Steve McMahon wrote a great registry class for vb6. You can find it here. http://www.vbaccelerator.com/codelib/inireg/registry.htm

If you intend on using it with MS Access, you'll need to replace all occurrences of App.EXEName with CurrentProject.Name.

You'll want your app to have it's own node under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software. Good luck, and be careful not to mess with any other registry keys.

I believe he's asking to migrate the INI to a collection of registry strings which can populate your program configuration directly from the registry rather than the INI file. To do this, read this article on creating New Registry Keys -> Here

But before you dive into messing with the registry, verify that is what your boss wants. Because messing with the registry can be a destructive end.
