Windows registry

The windows-registry crate provides simple, safe, and efficient access to the Windows registry.

• Getting started
• Samples
• Releases

Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

[dependencies.windows-registry]
version = "0.5"

Read and write registry keys and values as needed:

use windows_registry::*;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let key = CURRENT_USER.create("software\\windows-rs")?;

    key.set_u32("number", 123)?;
    key.set_string("name", "Rust")?;

    println!("{}", key.get_u32("number")?);
    println!("{}", key.get_string("name")?);

    Ok(())
}

Use the options() method for even more control:

use windows_registry::*;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let tx = Transaction::new()?;

    let key = CURRENT_USER
        .options()
        .read()
        .write()
        .create()
        .transaction(&tx)
        .open("software\\windows-rs")?;

    key.set_u32("name", 123)?;

    tx.commit()?;

    Ok(())
}
