The RtlCreateRegistryKey routine adds a key object in the registry along a given relative path.
RelativeTo [in]Specifies whether Path is an absolute registry path or is relative to a predefined key path as one of the following.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RTL_REGISTRY_ABSOLUTE | Path is an absolute registry path. |
| RTL_REGISTRY_SERVICES | Path is relative to \Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services. |
| RTL_REGISTRY_CONTROL | Path is relative to \Registry\Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Control. |
| RTL_REGISTRY_WINDOWS_NT | Path is relative to \Registry\Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion. |
| RTL_REGISTRY_DEVICEMAP | Path is relative to \Registry\Machine\Hardware\DeviceMap. |
| RTL_REGISTRY_USER | Path is relative to \Registry\User\CurrentUser. (For a system process, this is \Users.Default.) |
Path [in]Specifies the registry path according to the RelativeTo value.
RtlCreateRegistryKey returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the key is created.
RtlCreateRegistryKey creates only the keys that you specify. It does not create missing keys in the path to the specified key. If any keys in the path are missing, the call will fail. To ensure that all keys in the path exist, you must call RtlCreateRegistryKey once for each key in the path.
