You could roll your own or use the WinAPI. Here's some info on the latter --

See MSDN entry, scroll down the bottom of this (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/registry_functions.asp) page, you should see --

For those headed towards .NET >> this (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/Custxmlread.asp) << may be an interesting read.
