/* IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT CREGISTRY:
	
	CRegistry never keeps a key open past the end of a function call.
	This is incase the application crashes before the next call to close
	the registry 
	
	INCLUDE FILES
	"winreg.h" and "afxdisp.h" must be included in "stdafx.h"

	KEY NAMES:
	Key names must not begin with a \ and only absolute strings are accepted
