I want to save the contents of a stringlist to the registry and later read it back. 
How can I do this?

Answer:

Save a list of strings to the registry. It will write each string as a key value 
with the key being the index of each string element and the value being the key.

1   
2   procedure TDPRegistry.SaveStringListInRegistry(_RootKey: HKEY; _Localkey: string;
3     Strings: TStrings);
4   var
5     TR: TRegIniFile;
6     LStringIndex: Integer;
7   begin
8     TR := TRegIniFile.Create('');
9     try
10      case _RootKey of { default is RootKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USER }
11        HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,
12          HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
13          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
14          HKEY_USERS,
15          HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA,
16          HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG,
17          HKEY_DYN_DATA: TR.RootKey := _RootKey;
18      end;
19      TR.EraseSection(_Localkey); {make sure no entries for this section/ key}
20      with TRegistry(TR) do
21      begin
22        if OpenKey(_Localkey, true) then
23        begin
24          try
25            for LStringIndex := 0 to Strings.Count - 1 do
26            begin
27              WriteString(IntToStr(LStringIndex), Strings[LStringIndex]);
28            end; {for each string in the list}
29          finally
30            CloseKey;
31          end;
32        end;
33      end;
34    finally
35      TR.Free;
36    end;
37  end;
38  
39  {Get list of strings from registry}
40  
41  procedure TDPRegistry.GetStringListFromRegistry(_RootKey: HKEY; _Localkey: string;
42    Strings: TStrings);
43  var
44    TR: TRegIniFile;
45    LStringIndex: Integer;
46    RegKeyInfo: TRegKeyInfo;
47  begin
48    Strings.Clear; {start with no elements in string list}
49    TR := TRegIniFile.Create('');
50    try
51      case _RootKey of { default is  RootKey=HKEY_CURRENT_USER  }
52        HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,
53          HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
54          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
55          HKEY_USERS,
56          HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA,
57          HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG,
58          HKEY_DYN_DATA: TR.RootKey := _RootKey;
59      end;
60      {TR.ReadSectionValues(_Localkey, Strings); doesn't work nicely because it
61      returns strings as "1=Value", "2=Value"...}
62      with TRegistry(TR) do
63      begin
64        if OpenKey(_Localkey, true) then
65        begin
66          try
67            if (GetKeyInfo(RegKeyInfo)) then
68            begin
69              for LStringIndex := 0 to RegKeyInfo.NumValues - 1 do
70              begin
71                Strings.Add(ReadString(IntToStr(LStringIndex)));
72              end; {for each value associated with this key}
73            end; {got key information}
74          finally
75            CloseKey;
76          end;
77        end;
78      end;
79    finally
80      TR.Free;
81    end;
82  end;
