Use a file. The registry is more for actual important stuff.

I agree with the above. I wouldn't mess with the registry unless you have to. There's a reason that Windows warns you when you open up the registry.

If you don't want your players messing with the scores, you can encrypt the scores.

I WISH SOMEONE WOULD FIX THE DAMNED LOGIN!

Just save the scores as binary instead of ascii.

Binary is too easy to understand! :P

Can you not just write to a new file called, say , scores.dat ? .dat files are a pain to read, and even more of a pain to edit. It's my understanding that they are easy to read and write to, though.
