My.Computer.Registry vs Microsoft.Win32.Registry

Question

Hey all,
Which one do you prefer?
I remember I've seen advises to reduce using Win32 APIs!
And Visual Basic APIs on the other side!
Any tip on which to use?
Thanks :)

Hi @OSVBNET ,
My.Computer.Registry and Microsoft.Win32.Registry can achieve the same function.
But Microsoft.Win32.Registry is suitable for more products.
