  Sorry about that I am using Framwork 2.0 SP1 Visual Basic.

  The quotes are for the Wireless key.

  Thanks.

  I can successfully create the key using the emulator and mobile device, there is no bug in the framework I believe.

  could I also ask what happens when "it doesnt work" what are you seeing what do you expect to see

  Strange, I have not been able to get it to work on the emulator or the device. If I may ask what was the code you used

  I just found a bit more info on this registry key, seems like your were only including single quotes rather than double quotes. What happens if you include double quotes like the following:

  Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\""Wireless""", "DLL", "netui.dll", Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String)

  Well I have tried every way you all have showed me and still no error or "Today Item" key made. I have tried it with no quotes, single, and double quotes. Is this a bug in Compact framwork Here is the latest code I have tried;

  If CheckBox5.Enabled = True And CheckBox5.CheckState = CheckState.Checked Then
  Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\Wireless")
  Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\Wireless", "Order", 1, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)
  Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\Wireless", "Enabled", 1, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)
  Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\Wireless", "Type", 4, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)
  Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\Wireless", "Flags", 0, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)
  Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\Wireless", "Options", 0, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)
  End If

  Thanks.

  It gives no error, and does not create any registry setting. If I create the settings manually then I get a Today item Wireless on the today screen. This give the status of the WiFi and Bluetooth if on/off.
  

• LegendRey

  OK, firstly, do you have to put Wireless in quotes

  Secondly, you are best to create the keys this way:

  Dim theRegistryKey as new RegistryKey() theRegistryKey.CreateSubKey("\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\Wireless") theRegistryKey.SetValue(.......) theRegistryKey.Close()

  it is better overall to use the RegistryKey class instance to open/create and close the key.

  What happens if you take out the quotes from Wireless - does it work I'm unable to test it at the moment on an actual device until later so I thought I would post all possibilities now

  Thanks!

  When I tried double quotes I got a syntax error. I also tried this:

  Microsoft.Win32.Registry.SetValue("""HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\""Wireless""", "DLL", "netui.dll", Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String)
  

  No syntax error but it also did not create the registry settings.

  Thanks.

  code was the exact same as you were using, and the code I had supplied earlier

  Question  I have for you is

  1) are the keys being made Can you check in the registry, after creating the keys, if the keys have been made

  I'm not sure why are you trying to put the extra quotes around the registry path, but considering all that has been said I suggest to do this

  Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey key = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey("Software\Microsoft\Windows\Today\Items\'Wireless'")
  key.SetValue("DLL", "netui.dll", Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String)

  etc

  No keys are being made. I have check the registry. I do not understand what is wrong, I have made new key for other registry settings with no problem but the Today item does nothing. The only thing I can think off is my problem starts with the initial creation of the new key. Any Ideas
