Hello all, I have finished my newst version of my Download Blocker. I made it in .net so i don't knwo how to deploy it like i did in vb6. So my question(s) are as follows.

1. I put some folders in bin\Debug that i was using when i was debugging the application. Everythign worked fine then. Then I put all those folders in bin/Release and tried to make my own setup project. That when it stopped working. I Ran the install and it ran but i looked in the Application folder in program fiels and the folders i put in bin\release aren't there. So can someone help me make an install for my project? Or point me to some tutorials where it talks about it.
2. How do i write to teh registry? In vb6 I had a sub called CreateKey and i cant remember what was in it then In form1_load I had

CreateKey("HKLM\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run" + app.path + app.title + app.exe + ".exe")

and that worked, i don't knwo hwo to do it in vb.net.

and finally in vb6, i used Cancel = 1 to keep an application from closing when the user clicked the X "exit" button. Whats the equavilient in vb.net?

Thanks a bunch for yalls help.
