Using C++ to edit the registry

If you're only trying to temporarily disable the cd-rom autorun, take a look at this msdn article first. Actually, look at it first before disabling it permanently anyway. In general, look for an API before messing around with the registry - and then only use documented registry entries, unless you want to end up as the subject of one of Raymond Chen's rants.
