QuestionRegistry - case sensitive? Pin
dandy7222-Jun-05 9:15

Hi all,

This may be an anal question, but...

I've inherited some code where the original programmer would go through the hassle, for example, of doing an OS check before opening every single registry key the program looks at, eg, if it's VER_PLATFORM_WIN32_NT, then a "SOFTWARE\[whatever]" string is built, and if it's running on Win9x, then the string is "software\[whatever]".

My own tests and experience tell me that opening any key for reading should NOT be case-sensitive. I'm tempted to modify the code and hardwire "SOFTWARE" everywhere, to save the overhead in (a) calling the function and (b) building different strings.

My question...is anyone aware of any circumstances where my change would actually cause failures?

Note that I do understand the difference between creating a new key in lowercase vs uppercase...but I'm talking here strictly about opening existing keys for reading only...
