Impressive digging. I knew that the preferences API peered to the registry on windows, but I wasn't aware that you could use that capability to get access to arbitrary keys.

Looks cool! Not Just cool.... but true Good work here.

I have a question...

How can I get a list of subkeys under a key? For example in under HKLM\Software\JavaSoft, I would like to get the list of subkeys (Java Development Kit, Java Runtime Environment etc). Can
this be done using the library?
