Checking for reg keys?

[Timothy Spangler]

I have created this sub-routine for checking the existence of reg keys. Can a few people try it and see if it works? It works for me and all of the testing that I have done with it. Maybe someone can get it to fail.

Thanks

Because (vl-registry-read) returns nil for an empty key.

(setq a "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Test")
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\SOFTWARE\\Test"

(vl-registry-write a)
T

(vl-registry-read a)
nil
