[skaanji]

XP saves all settings in binary files located in windows\\system32\\config right? i looking for some way to read these files? i want to access registry from another os

If the other OS is Windows-based, you can use RegConnectRegistry().

It is linux. so i need some code to do id without windows API

Well, I don't know the format of any of the files that comprise the registry, so you may have a bit of work ahead of you. Good luck.

Have you considered Winelib[^]? It may provide the Win32 functions you're looking for. Otherwise, you might need to make your own limited version of the Remote Registry service to run on the Windows box. - Mike
