This structure specifies what root keys must be protected in the system from non-trusted applications.

Syntax

typedef struct RegSecureKey {
  WORD wRoots;
  WORD wLen;
  LPWSTR pName;
} RegSecureKey;

Members

  • wRoots
    Bitmask of values that describes the predefined reserved roots the protected key is under. The following table shows possible values.

    Value

    Description

    REGSEC_HKCR

    REGSEC_HKCU

    Secure under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

    REGSEC_HKLM

    Secure under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

    REGSEC_HKUS

  • wLen
    Length of the string pointed to by pName, not including the terminating NULL.
