winreg is a part of the standard library on windows that allows you to
access the registry. I haven't used it but if registry manipulation
was what I wanted to do and this worked, I would use this. 

win32com is a more general 3rd party module that gives you access to
native windows libraries from within Python. Sort of a windows only
ctypes-lite. I've used it a little to access some GUI functions.
