Possibly of interest to a few. A spin-off of automating certificate installation (still unsuccessful btw) has been a registry.dat reader written as a class in Borland Delphi. It retrieves the complete structure and all string data but (because we didn't need it) doesn't worry about non-string values. That's easily added though.
There's also code that retrieves the registry.dat location using the Windows registry. If anyone would find the source useful, please email me. Regards, ::Leigh Harrison [EMAIL PROTECTED]
