This is very strange! regedt32 doesnt import RegSetValue or RegSetValueEx -- it doesnt even have those strings in its executable!

So here is a little challenge - to find out how on earth it is able to save registry settings without using those two API calls. Ive got no idea ...

Wayne: maybe because it uses functions from ureg.dll ? UpdateKeyInfo maybe ?

I'm assuming RegEdt32 is the NT/2000/XP version of RegEdit with all the permissions/etc stuff in, and in which case it most likely uses the kernel functions.
