Parameters

lpSubKey
Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the name of the subkey.

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.

lpValueName
Pointer to a string containing the name of the value to set.

Pointer to a string containing the name of the value,
If lpszValueName is NULL, the default value of the lpSubKey will be set to lpszValue.
lpData
