[python-win32] Walking the registry and creating reg files

[Dahlstrom, Roger]

I think my mistake was assuming that reading the values was going to be sufficient.  For all the purposes I've used, it was.  For my edification, what's the functional difference?  I mean, what I was doing was able to walk the registry, extract information, save it for later, modify it, then re-insert it in to the registry.  What's different with saving and restoring, or is it just the neater API?

You are quite correct.  It's only those two specific functions
(RegSaveKey and RegRestoreKey) that need special privileges.  It just so
happens that's what Tim G was talking about.

So, we're all in violent agreement...
