HAH! All you have to do is to set the project option from unicode to multi-byte character set (or alternatively convert wide character set to multi-byte). Right click on project icon->Properties->Character Set->Use Multi-Byte Character set.

EDIT: oscode's solution is better.See next post.

You can also just use the ASCII method directly - RegSetValueExA

visual studio has UNICODE enabled by default and thats why each window function has its A & W forms accordingly like one shown in above post as RegSetValueExA & RegSetValueExW and they take arguments accordingly.

to compile your code successfully , either you have to user Ascii version of this code or just undef UNICODE like

#ifdef UNICODE
#undef UNICODE
#endif

I finally figured it out i needed to add TEXT and then quotes around the parameter where I tell it to look for the key.
Those are great answers guyss!
Now all I need to do is figure out how to do this in firefox.
I am pretty sure this is stored in a javascript file somewhere on the users computer?
Are you able to get into a javascript file in c++ to write a line?
Thanks again everyone.
