Registry class interface
Provides access to the Windows Registry as a database.
Use this object to work with Registry keys and values, such as opening keys, viewing subkeys, creating new keys, and managing key values.
You can either open a specific key within the Registry or use one of the predefined root keys (e.g., localMachine, currentUser, or classesRoot).
Example of opening a key:
const keyPath = r'Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion';
final key = Registry.openPath(RegistryHive.localMachine, path: keyPath);
Once you have a key, you can manipulate it by performing various operations, including creating, updating, renaming, or deleting values stored under that key.
Note: Always ensure that you properly close keys when you are finished with them to release system resources using the RegistryKey.close method.
For additional information on working with keys and values, see the documentation for the RegistryKey class.
