Thats just the thing, Microsoft used to be pretty specific about standards and conformity
when it came to programming for Windows.  But I can't find where they talk much about the
registry.

Sure I can stick whatever I want in the registryand call it later.  But that's not my point.
It seems to have some specific functionality - like file association for instance.  I'm sure
there are a lot of other specific instances where the developer should be using the registry
- but how do you find out?
