I.2. Registry Root Key Hives

In the Registry, a hive is a node that often contains other keys and values. There are several root keys that you can use for functions that require that a root key be supplied for one of the parameters. These keys are defined as follows:

Const HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT As Long = &H80000000
Const HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG As Long = &H80000005
Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER As Long = &H80000001
Const HKEY_DYN_DATA As Long = &H80000006
Const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE As Long = &H80000002
Const HKEY_PERF_ROOT As Long = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Const HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA As Long = &H80000004
Const HKEY_USERS As Long = &H80000003
