Hey,
I've been having trouble with the RegQueryValueEx API...I keep getting an error saying "The system could not find the specified file". I'm assuming that lpszValueName parameter must be incorrect.
I can open the key just fine, but I can't seem to read it. Does anyone know of any *good* registry tutorials, or have any advice for me about specifing regisrty paths???
Until then...

I answered some questions on writing and deleteing from registry, you can aply this to getting a value too, check this out and if it doesnt help post or drop me a line.
Watching for Windows Start
hope it helps

.....yeah, I'm still having trouble with this. Here's the portion of my code.

--------------------------------------------------
.......it says that it "can't find the specified file", which I believe it's refering to the Key_Name value.
I'm stuck :-(

hey unknown,
i guess brad is right, you have to include crypt32.inc/lib
i'm not sure about it but it should work, because i had the same thing
Hope that helps, Olli
..........thanx for the advice, but still no go :-( I threw in the crypt32.inc/.lib and it made no difference. I kinda figured that because all the registry API's are in advapi32.inc/.lib........also, you cannot use SIZEOF, it is "an incorrect parameter". Do I have to RegQueryInfoKey before I can RegQueryValueEx?
Still stuck,
*unknown*
