Registry API

[Thomas G. Seroogy]

In reviewing the VB6 setup, I seem to have found to types of API calls for
the registry. Can anyone tell me what differences there are between the
standard Registry API (i.e. RegOpenKey, RegCloseKey, etc.) and those that
have the "OS" prefix (i.e. OSRegOpenKey, OSRegCloseKey, etc.)?

Thank you,

Hi Thomas,

The "OS" ones (if you're talking about the code in the project) are probably
simply wrappers. I haven't looked at the source in a long time.
