Have a look at the CRegKey class in MSDN.

Try to open the key with ::RegOpenKeyEx with the security access mask set to REG_QUERY_VALUE to avoid errors due to insufficient rights in case the user is not an administrator or priveliged user. If the call returns ERROR_SUCCESS the key is present and if you're interested in the value of the key you call ::RegQueryValueEx. Close the opened key with a call to ::RegCloseKey. -- Roger
