Registering Lobby-able Applications

For an application to be enumerated and started by DirectPlayLobby, it must add some information to the Windows registry when it is installed. The following registry keys have been defined for this purpose. "Application Name" is the human-readable name of the application that will be returned when DirectPlayLobby enumerates it. You can use the DirectXRegisterApplication function in DirectSetup to add these entries.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectPlay\Applications\Application Name]

"Guid" GUID of the application

"Filename" Filename of the executable

"CommandLine" Command-line switches for the application (if any)

"Path" Path of the application executable

"CurrentDirectory" Path of the directory to start application into
