I am updating an older educational application that runs well on Windows XP. It uses the registry to store user configuration information including remembering user settings when the application was last used as well as general configuration settings related to the particular machine (midi sound information, mouse latency, etc). While the application runs on Vista and Windows-7, it does have problems due to registry virtualization.

I am looking for references on how best to do this. Most of what I find is user level awareness but I need programing help. Any suggested books or on-line tutorials?

Thanks in advance
