How about instead of a file, I use a registry entry? Do you think that this would be better or worse than the writing to a file?

P.S. Thanks for the replies - I thought of using a Global but I don't think that will work in an apartment threaded DLL. If I am not mistaken, there is no way to comunicate information between threads right?
