 <h2>Some Notes and Tips</h2>
 
+<p>This approach of writing the values to the Windows Registry is very clever and easy to use. The author of HWiNFO, Martin Malik, was very generous to add this capability to the software. He has it writing to both <code>HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HWiNFO64\VSB</code> and <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HWiNFO64\VSB</code>. The one you want to use depends on which user account is running HWiNFO. Normally this will be "CURRENT_USER".</p>

 <p>It might occur to you that "writing" to the Windows Registry every 2 seconds might be working your hard drive a bit. This really isn't the case. Windows is very clever about how it manages the Registry and changes are actually just stored in a memory copy of the hive, and only written to the physical disk periodically, and / or when you shut down Windows. This approach is very easy indeed on your hard drive.</p>
 
 <p>The old Rainmeter plugin for HWiNFO allowed you to obtain distinct values for "Current", "Minimum", "Maximum" and "Average" for each sensor element. Only the "current" value is possible with this interface. These values can just as easily be calculated in the skin, which I demonstate in the <code>MinMaxAvg</code> skin in the example .rmskin below.</p>
