Subject: Off-topic: Problem with a C func


> I just got a book recently, the "Win32 API Bible". It has tons of stuff in

> two programs that talk to each other with Windows thingies called atoms!
> I'm working on a library for using the registry. It's worked well so far

> exact parameters as shown in the book, but it either returns ERROR_BAD_
> PARAMETER or ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND, and I don't know why! I was hoping that
