Windows 95 supports all the Win16 and Win32 Registry functions. Some Win32 functions return errors when called from Windows 95, however, just as some Win32 functions return errors when called from Win32s, as a result of system differences. Table 10-2 on the following page lists the Registry functions that Windows 95 supports, including numerous Win16 functions that are provided for compatibility with Windows 3.1.
