Hi,
has anyone a RegQuery-example? I've got problems executing the following 
code: The result shows me, that the program cannot find the specified 
registry key, but it is there, as regedit shows to me. I'm thankful for 
any help!

const char *ShellFoldersKey = "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\"
		"CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders";
const char *regkey = "Personal";

if (RegOpenKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, ShellFoldersKey, 0,
		KEY_READ, &regh) == ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
	if(RegQueryValueEx(regh, regkey, NULL, NULL, buffer,
			buffsize + 1) == ERROR_SUCCESS) {
		RegCloseKey(regh);
		retval = 1;
	}
}
