Do you have WIN32.HLP on your system? Look in there  in the index
under "registry" for info about using it. Also, example is in the find
tab under "Using the registry" (or several pages into the registry
topic.)

If you don't have that help file, it's available on the Borland site
in the same area as the free commandline compiler.

Doing a GREP on my system for RegOpenKey found examples in MS SDK.
{heavily edited}

  RegOpenKey(HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, szKey, &hKey);
  RegQueryValue(hKey, "DefaultIcon", lpBuffer, &dw);
  RegCloseKey(hKey);
