Heres my first little app since the beginning of my summer semester of co-op. It is a simple Registry Key Creator to make a bunch of keys in the registry, without the painful right-click -> new procedures.

I was wondering if i could get some suggestions on improving this, or some comments in general.

Thanks

It's ok, but it lacks explanation. I couldn't really figure out how to use it. It just a bunch off boxes and buttons. You need to explain what type of format you want it in etc. On top of that, maybe include the ability to put in the existing sub tree, rather than having the user have to type it all out and risk making a typo. It needs to be more user friendly. Other than that, looks good so far.

good point, I'll have to figure out how to do a directory like listing on the registry. The reason I made it is so I can start port-ing user settings to the registry instead of a XML or txt file (i've hated that concept since i started "user defined options".

thanks for the suggestion.
