reading and writing to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\vb and vba

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

We have an application that communicates with a PLC in the field. All of the
values from the PLC are written to registry keys under
hkey_current_user\software\vb and vba programming\application
name\subkey\value.

We were trying to access the registry key directly using asp. I found a
tool to access registry, but for some reason it can't read or write values to
hkey_current_user. So, we wrote and active x dll that using gettsetting and
savesetting to read and write to the registry, and we just use the object in
ASP. Unfortunately, it writes to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\ and then
creates the vb and vba programming\application name\subkey\key. It reads and
writes to this area just fine, but well that is not where we want to read and
write to. We rewrote the dll to specify the HKEY_Current_User area, but it
still behaves the same way. Any help or direction on this would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

My questtion also relates to IIS what user runs processes that are using the
dll if I am using ASP to access it. I also posted in the ASP forum.
