Description

Specifies the root key for the TRegistry object in an application.

Use RootKey to determine the hierarchy of subkeys an application can access, or to specify the root key for the application.

By default, RootKey is set to HKEY_CURRENT_USER when the registry object is created. To change the root key, specify a valid integer value for the RootKey property.

Note: For some operations, such as LoadKey or RegistryConnect, an application may need to change the default value of RootKey.
