how to read registry entry from VB Application

[uday]

I would like to know the login userid from a VB Application. Which API function can I use for this purpose? Or is it Possible to read the login userid from a registry entry through the VB application?

Well, the API functions you'd want are:

RegOpenKeyEx to open the specified key, and
RegQueryValueEx to return the value of the specified entry under that key.

However... If you're using VB, I don't think you need the API calls because VB has built-in registry reading functions (e.g., GetSettings and GetAllSettings). Sounds to me like you need to review your VB instructions.
