The _Win32Provider instance name is "RegProv"; the property provider name is "RegPropProv"; and the event provider name is "RegistryEventProvider". For more information, see Modifying the System Registry.

The provider has the following __Win32Provider instances:

  • "RegProv"

Two versions of the System Registry provider are available on 64-bit platforms. For more information, see Getting and Providing Data on a 64-bit Computer.

StdRegProvider Class

The StdRegProv class is placed in the Root\Default namespace by WMI. You can compile the Managed Object Format (MOF) file that defines the provider into another namespace for use by your applications. RegEvent.mof is the .mof file name.

StdRegProv contains only methods. You cannot create or get an instance of StdRegProv. The Win32_Registry class contains configuration data about the registry. The only registry configuration you can change through WMI is the ProposedSize property.
