Maybe I've missed something here, but are we talking about copying the
registry to hard drive, or rather providing a 'pathed' means just to read
the registry?  I'm still a newbie in this area, but to me, it would seem
that if it's not copied to the HD then we don't need an extention to
indicate key type, but that those things that called it should know, and/or
check, what type of key they were getting the information on.

Just my two cents,
Greg
