nested functions in VC++

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I think what I am looking for is a "nested function" which C++ doesn't
officially
support. Is the following workaround possible?


1. create a pointer to a function of type void fun ()
2. allocate memory for it
3. populate memory so newly created function does what I want
4. return pointer to said function

thx, -Alex
