Using C++ to edit the registry

Question

I have a limited c++ background and I would like to edit the registry. For example, I want to grab the value of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Curren

Answer 1

Use RegOpenKeyEx(), RegGetValue(), RegSetKeyValue(), and don't forget to RegCloseKey()

Here's a link to the reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724875(VS.85).aspx

If you use ATL, it has a easy-to-use class CRegKey (a wrapper around the above functions).
