I need a place to put configuration for my Win32 application inside the registry. Where it is should be? Are there multiple places to store application-specific registry?

    An usual key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE + name of the application
    Predefined Keys :
    "
    In HKEY_CURRENT_USER, software vendors store the current user-specific preferences to be used within their applications. Microsoft, for example, creates the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft key for its applications to use, with each application creating its own subkey under the Microsoft key.
