How to modify Windows System Registry Values with C#? As usual, you need to use Microsoft.Win32 Namespace ~ using Microsoft.Win32;. Let’s take Windows Application Event Logs values as an example. I want to change the MaxSize and Retention values in Application Event Log file by using C#.

Codes to change Windows System Registry values

RegistryKey TestEventLog = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(“System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\EventLog\\Application”,true);
TestEventLog.SetValue(“MaxSize”, “102367232″, RegistryValueKind.DWord);
TestEventLog.SetValue(“Retention”, “0″, RegistryValueKind.DWord);

Above codes open Application event log and with write permission (,true). It changes both MaxSize and Retention values.
Just change the codes to suit your need.

Oh no… My hard drive is on the list!
