Mike,
after taking a closer look at the code you so kindly e-mailed me, it seems
that after all the only way to rename a registry key is to actually create a
new key, copy all subkeys and values and delete the original key.
Since RegEdit offers a simple Key Rename function, I'm just wondering if
that's achieved in such way.
Or is there a hidden RegRenameKeyEx API???
