Description
Establishes a connection to a registry on another computer.
Call RegistryConnect to establish a connection to a registry on another computer running Windows 95 or Windows NT. UNCName is the name of the remote computer, and must take the following form:
\\computername
where computername is the name of the remote computer. If UNCName is nil (Delphi) or NULL (C++), the local machine name is used.
Note: Before calling RegistryConnect, an application must set the RootKey property for its registry object to HKEY_USERS or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
If connection is successful, RegistryConnect sets the RootKey property to the root key of the remote computer and returns true. If unsuccessful, RegistryConnect returns false, and RootKey remains unchanged.
