Hi !

You can use Windows API to access Windows Registry. Look for Declare in Help About OOo Basic to see how to call functions from DLL's.

Here is a related discussion.

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6221

In that thread, I propose a solution where you can write a simple COM object DLL in Visual Basic, which could do anyhing that a VB program could do, and then call your COM object via. UNO (presumably from OOo Basic, but actually from any OOo supported language!). That thread may be of interest if you need more Win32 capabilities than just accessing the Windows Registry.
