writing in the Registry.

NTDEV
1

Hi all,
I need to create a new key in the following path of the Registry:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyNewKey
and I don’t know what is the correct path I have to put in the ObjectName
parameter of the InitializeObjectAttributes function.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to use RtlCreateRegistryKey instead as it avoids the entire
problem. See the DDK docs for details.

How can you use the notion of the “current user” in the kernel-mode code?

Mmmm…
I prefere ZwCreateKey, because I can set one of their parameters to erase
the key in the reboot.
