: I can save some configuration settings for my app to an ini file for loading when the app starts up. I would like to be able to save those same settings to the registry, optionally loaded from the ini files. Can someone explain to me how to load the ini/text file to the registry using name/value pairs? The ini structure is something like the following:

: [XSettings]
: color=blue
: color=red
: color=green

: [YSettings]
: range=high
: range=mid
: range=low

: [Zsettings]
: when=before
: when=now
: when=after

Sorry, forgot to add where in the registry. I 'think' the following keys would be appropriate:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyApp\XSettings
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyApp\YSettings
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyApp\ZSettings
