right - I have the directory to my app stored in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ Software/myAppName


name= (default)


how do I read it? I've tried searching the RegGetValue but couldn't get it to work/ understand how it works.

Just copy MSDN samples and it works in 2 seconds
or see adv. win32 api forum,

where it has been given hundreds of times...

To add a little bit of descriptive text to help you oversee how the registry works:
You need to Open the keys first. Then you can modify the Values of an open key, enumerate them, and also enumerate the sub-keys of your open key.
Don't forget to close all the open handles (open keys) when you're done with them.
MSDN is your friend. Look for RegOpenKeyEx and/or RegCreateKeyEx for opening the key (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724897(VS.85).aspx)
RegCloseKey is used to close the key

The way I see it... Well, it's all pretty blurry

HKEY key;
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run",0,KEY_QUERY_VALUE,&hKey );

After reading the key, put it into a variable to hold.

Hi,
How can I call below function for remote machine?

HKEY key;
RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run",0,KEY_QUERY_VALUE,&hKey );

Thanks,
Megha
