API :
RegCloseKey
RegConnectRegistry
RegCreateKey
RegCreateKeyEx
RegDeleteKey
RegDeleteValue
etc. etc.

Another way is create a *.reg file like this :

--- code begin
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt]
"Content Type"="text/plain"
@="txtfile"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt\ShellNew]
"NullFile"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile]
@="Text documet"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\Windows\\System\\shell32.dll, -152"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe %1"
--- code end

and then open it (this example will associate *.txt with notepad.

Hope this will help,
