I ahve created a new string in regedit

User Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

name is NoControlPanel type is REG_DWORD and the data
is 0x00000001 (1) enabled
and 0x00000000 (0) is disabled

I want to create a program that can change whetehr it is enabled or disabled which means accessing the registry and changing the data value how do i go about this ive never done anything with the registry before

What version of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET are you using? Go to "Help", then "About Microsoft Development Environment..."
