== Overview ==

This class offers methods useful to deal with the Windows Registry without using .NET.

== Terminology ==

To understand the names of the methods you need to understand the terminology. If you find the terminology strange: so do I, but it was invented by Microsoft and got widely accepted. That is the reason why I decided to go for it: it makes it easier to understand others while talking about the Windows Registry.

In this picture:

[[attachment:EditReg.jpg|{{attachment:EditReg.jpg}}]]

you can see that this string is visible in the top of the window:

{{{HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dyalog\Dyalog APL/W 12.0 Unicode\AutoComplete}}}

=== HKEY_CURRENT_USER ===

This is called a "Main key". There is a particular number of pre-defined main keys available you can choose from. For the most important one from an application programmers view there is also a shortcut available: Instead of '''HKEY_CURRENT_USER''' you can use '''HKCU'''.

=== SOFTWARE\Dyalog\Dyalog APL/W 12.0 Unicode ===

This is called a '''subkey'''.

On the right side you see a list. The entries in this list are called "value". '''!CancelKey1''' is there a value. The actual data saved under this value is called "data".
