void SetValue( LPCSTR lpSubKey, LPCSTR lpValueName, LPBYTE lpData, DWORD dwType, DWORD dwcbData )

Parameters

lpSubKey: Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the name of the subkey.; If the lpSubKey does not exist, it will be created there
lpValueName: Pointer to a string containing the name of the value,; If lpszValueName is supplied, the name value pair lpszValueName = lpszValue will be created for the key.; If lpszValueName is NULL, the default value of the lpSubKey will be set to lpszValue.
