Really simple Registry help, ASAP plz

[scr0p]

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\TIT"
In the Run key, it has a value TIT (which holds "hello"). I just want it deleted (using cpp of course).

This is my current code, problem is that the type of lKeyVal is wrong I think.

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
	long rEt;
	HWND lKeyVal;
	rEt = RegOpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run\\TIT", lKeyVal);
	rEt = RegDeleteValue(lKeyVal, "TIT");
	rEt = RegCloseKey(lKeyVal);
                return(0);
}

hWnd is a handle for a window. hKey is what you want.

Ok, this is my code, It does not work.. I don't know why, I passed the reference (PHKEY):

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
	long rEt;
	HKEY PHKEY_X;
	rEt = RegOpenKey(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Run\\TIT", &PHKEY_X);
	rEt = RegDeleteValue(PHKEY_X, "TIT");
	rEt = RegCloseKey(PHKEY_X);
return 0;
}

What errors do you get? Check ret.

2, 6, 6 In that order of rEt being used

I am logged in as admin on XP pro.. does that have anything to do with it? maybe if I mess with access rights? but hOw.

Use FormatMessage() in winerror.h to find out what those error numbers mean.
