Save multiple registry keys

[Ajay L D]

Hi All, How can I save multiple registry keys into a single file? The RegSaveKeyEx() fails if a file already exists. Thank you, AJ

Can't you rename the existing file and delete it later if RegSaveKeyEx() succeeds?

Thanks! I could do it, but I need to store all the values into a single file, by appending the values. I would have multiple calls to RegSaveKeyEx() but the file name needs to be the same. Thank you, AJ

I think the OP wasn't asking about that (my CPMRU battery pack is fully charged): maybe he was asking how to write multiple keys (possibly unrelated) in the same file. :)

Call RegSaveKeyEx() as many times as necessary, then merge all of the files into one.
