Win32 Registry Manipulation w/PythonWin?

[David LeBlanc]

OOps, I saw this after I posted my pointer to _winreg...

I was confused in part by the mention of PythonWin - that's not needed to do
registry stuff with the standard winreg module.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the registry? Manipulating
the registry isn't all that hard, but if you do scramble it, it's a Very Bad
thing. One thing you should do before testing registry manipulation code is
to make an emergency repair disk - this (IIRC) will also offer the option of
making a backup of the registry.
