*** Programmatically adding tag value on Group order list ***

NTDEV

Hi,

Introduction:

Tag value with service entry decides load ordering of driver.

lpdwTagId
[out] Pointer to a variable that receives a tag value that is unique in the group specified in the lpLoadOrderGroup parameter. Specify NULL if you are not changing the existing tag.

You can use a tag for ordering service startup within a load ordering group by specifying a tag order vector in the GroupOrderList value of the following registry key:

Problem:

How this tag value can be added programmatically to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GroupOrderList.

I am trying to avoid, modifying registry using REGXXX apis.

Waiting for expert comments.

8^)Cheers

CreateService() will give you a tag ID. You have to use Registry APIs to
insert that tag into

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GroupOrderList.

What is the problem of not using Registry APIs for doing this task??
