editing the registry

How do I edit the registry. I'm learning by the seat of my pants. I took a sub routine from the ILOVEYOU virus to edit the registry but it only create strings.
Private Sub regcreate(regkey, regvalue)
Set regedit = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
regedit.regwrite regkey, regvalue
End Sub

I'm using Visual Studio 6. Any info would be great. Please email peter_d_wood@hotmail.com.

Thanks in advance

Why broadcast your lab? If anyone answers his question has helped release another virus.

Let's assume that you are not going to rewrite anything as stupid as the ILOVEU virus, but take it as a learning sample:
You can write DWORDs using the third argument or regwrite

WshShell.RegWrite "yourkey", 1 ,"REG_DWORD"
