A car is perfectly safe in the hands of someone who is careful, knows how to
drive , etc., but there are still accidents.

GetSetting and SaveSetting are a VBA interface to the registry, and in a
very restricted part of the registry, so you will be okay.

In many places on the WWW, I have read that it would be wise to back up
the Registry before making alterations to it. Why? Assuming the user
knows exactly what he/she is doing, what harm could come of it?

That being said, is it perfectly safe to use the SaveSetting,
GetSetting, etc functions so long as you use it for your own App Names?
