Yes, there are (still) some problems with registry functions. I'm
currently working on this.

I fixed this in shell32 yesterday.

I noticed the "My Computer" icon disappeard after I recompiled with your
shell32 changes. Haven't tracked it down yet. Also, the icon of
Solitaire was displayed properly before when I copied Solitaire to the
desktop, now it's not displayed correctly. This is caused by
RegQueryValueExA problems.

Yes, probably...
