C++ editing registry and permission

[chezz]

Hey i was wondering if anyone had sample code besides using the system function to delete registry keys and also if anyone knows how to change a permission on a specified key.

Have you looked in Google for this? I'd search 'c++ registry site:microsoft.com'. I would imagine that would be one of your best resources.

You don't have to do it in Visual C. Other compilers have windows libraries that support the windows API. However, if you are saying you don't want to use the windows API then, good luck, there's probably not a lot of code from scratch to parse and edit the registry, since the windows API already have functions to do it. (search it too!). I've seen a perl script parser that dumps the contents but not edit. Wosit has a description of the files, so I would guess that'll be a good place to start.
