Primer on "_T" written at the bottom . . .

It wasn't working because I had these lines under the InitInstance OLE
FAILURE CHECK . . .

EXAMPLE OF HOW DO DO THIS :

// Use this line under InitInstance()
SetRegistryKey (_T ("Company Name Here"));

// These lines wherever you need them . . .

CWinApp::WriteProfileInt (_T ("Sub Key Name Here"),_T ("Sample Data"), INT
GOES HERE);

CWinApp::WriteProfileString (_T ("Sub Key Name Here"),_T ("Sample Data)",_T
("Sample VALUE"));


That works great, and it's EASIBLY convertable between Win98 and NT . .
.. That's why the _T is there, to make the string neutral, so that it can be
made into Unicode if you decide to port the program to NT or Win2K

Reason this may come in handy : Windows NT, and any versions of Windows
newer than 98 use an international standard character set called Unicode (16
Bit), whereas Windows 98 and previous version use ANSI (8 Bit) . . . Anyway,
Windows NT and Windows 2000+ are backward compatible with ANSI (They would
HAVE TO BE!!!), but it causes a performance hit while converting from ANSI
to Unicode.

Anyway, I'm told that sometimes you run into problems when writing to
the System Registry in NT using ANSI . . .
