RegConnectRegistry

RegCreateKey

RegCreateKeyEx

RegDeleteKey

RegDeleteValue

RegEnumKey

RegEnumKeyEx

RegEnumValue

RegFlushKey

RegGetKeySecurity

RegLoadKey

RegNotifyChangeKeyValue

RegOpenKey

RegOpenKeyEx

RegQueryInfoKey

RegQueryMultipleValues

RegQueryValue

RegQueryValueEx

RegReplaceKey

RegRestoreKey

RegSaveKey

RegSetKeySecurity

RegSetValue

RegSetValueEx

The man functions in the table above will be documented in this article and others in a further article.
