The registry DCU is a large one.
If you are concern with the Size of your exe you should use the Win32 Reg API.
For example here is a Delphi procedure to write a Key with that APIs :
| CODE |
procedure WriteRegString(Root :HKey; thepath, thkey, thevalue :string);
var HK :HKEY; DW: Dword;
begin
RegOpenKey(Root,PChar(thepath),HK);
if HK = 0 then
RegCreateKeyEx(Root,PChar(thepath),0,nil,REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE,KEY_ALL_ACCESS,nil,HK,@DW);
RegSetValueEx(HK,PChar(thekey),0, REG_SZ, Pchar(thevalue),Length(thevalue));
RegCloseKey(HK);
end;
|
You could write the same type of procedure to delete or read etc etc (and it will save you undreds of bits
).
