Regestry editing in C++

This is not a script-kiddie site, please ask your questions in adult english.

I'll need more info in order to answer. Do you want the Win32 API calls required to access the registry or do you want to know how to code the button event?

You can try the following bit of code for editing the registry. This changes the Screen saver and wallpaper.

HWND desktop_window_handle;

Registry = new TRegistry;
Registry->RootKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER;
Registry->OpenKey("Control Panel\\Desktop", TRUE);

try {

Registry->WriteString("Wallpaper","c:\\winnt\\system32\\hack.bmp");
Registry->WriteString("WallpaperStyle","0");

Registry->WriteString("SCRNSAVE.EXE","c:\\winnt\\system32\\ssbezier.scr"); Registry->WriteString("ScreenSaveIsSecure","0");
}

ShowMessage ("Failed to hack registry");
}

Registry->Free();

// Get Windows desktop handle as window
desktop_window_handle = GetDesktopWindow ();
