The following topics describe how applications can use the System Registry Provider to provide data for classes that you create.
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| Defining Classes for the System Registry Provider | To access the system registry, you must create Windows classes that store registry information in the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) repository. |
| Using the System Registry Provider as a Property Provider | The System Registry Provider requires that you use several qualifiers to view registry properties. |
| Describing a Resource for the Registry | You can access data in the registry that describes a system resource. To modify the information, the System Registry Provider requires a specific syntax. |
| Accessing an Unnamed Registry Value | To access most registry values, create a class to receive the values in WMI, or you can examine specific registry properties. However, the System Registry Provider requires a special syntax to view unnamed registry values. |
