GetProfileString

[Sophie]

I hope someone can shed some light!!!

I'm trying to get a path I've saved prior. When I do the GetprofilePath it never finds what I've set it to and I know it's there. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you!

Also It writes the information in my win.ini how do I make it to write in the registry?

Thanks

Try initializing the following 2 variables in your CWinApp

m_pszProfileName <---- The application's .INI filename.
m_pszRegistryKey <---- Used to determine the full registry key for storing application profile settings.
