Andyware is Still used in the Registry #29

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Problem:
ABox persistant settings are stored in the Windows registry under 
the Andyware key. Andyware no longer exists. Some other unrelated 
Andyware may exist in the future.

Recommend:
*A different registry key should be choosen. Perhaps 'AnalogBox'. 
 User settings under the Andyware key should be detected, 
 automatically moved to the new key, and the old settings deleted. 
 A policy towards possible collisions (ie both keys exist) and how 
 much to delete need to be developed.
*ABox registry manipulation can be found in 'registry.asm'.

I believe that one should be able to set Andyware for "portable" use, so that 
it will store all settings in an ini file in the program's folder when this 
option is selected, instead of the registry.
