in reply to win32 remote access and registry

You can connect to a remote machine by using '\\HostName\LMachine\' instead of 'LMachine\', just as the documentation states. The authentication is simply done through domain credentials, that is, your program must be run with an account that has the appropriate rights to the remote machine or the domain that the remote machine belongs to.
