The RegReplaceKey function replaces the file backing a key and all its subkeys with another file, so that when the system is next started, the key and subkeys will have the values stored in the new file.
LONG RegReplaceKey(
HKEY hKey, |
// handle of open key |
LPCTSTR lpSubKey, |
// address of name of subkey |
LPCTSTR lpNewFile, |
// address of filename for file with new data |
LPCTSTR lpOldFile |
// address of filename for backup file |
); |
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
HKEY_USERS
The selected key must be the root of a hive; that is, it must be an immediate
descendent of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_USERS.
If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS.
If the function fails, the return value is a nonzero error code defined in WINERROR.H. You can use the FormatMessage function with the FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM flag to get a generic description of the error.
The file specified by the lpNewFile parameter remains open until the system is restarted.
If hKey is a handle returned by RegConnectRegistry, then the paths specified in lpNewFile and lpOldFile are relative to the remote computer.
Windows NT: The calling process must have the SE_RESTORE_NAME privilege. For more information about privileges, see Privileges.
Windows 95: Security privileges are not supported or required.
