Who says you cant write to the registry without API?
This code is fast,smooth, and refreshes the registry instantly.
This is speed at work!

Assumptions
just create a 'Reg File' call it Reg.Reg' for simplicity in keeping with the code.
Place it in the root dir: eg: c:
eg.Reg
paste the code straight into your form and away you go.
This function is great!

Sub DoIt(rtn As Boolean)
'Disable/Re-enable Regedit.exe

'Changing this value to True Disables Regedit.Exe & Vice Versa.
