Registry ReadString method is not working in Windows 7 in Delphi 7

Question

The following code sample used to return me windows id before, but now it doesn\'t work, and returns empty string, dunno why.

Answer 1

Try reading it manually using RegEdit. You may get 'Access Denied' due to a permission issue, in which case look at your level and how you are accessing it.
