Setting up a Setup Project for use by VS2010

I am having a hard time finding what I want to do involving a setup project on Google. I need to be able to create a VS Setup project that does the following:

1) Install a registry key.
2) Is visible from the .NET tab when I go to add references in Visual Studio.

I've done it before at a prior company but I no longer have access to this documentation. Could someone give me a hand in what I need to do in the File System and Registry areas of the Visual Studio Setup Project?

Go to www.advancedinstaller.com and download their free tool. The one in VS sucks.
