How do a I write something to the registry directly under HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Currently when I use SetRegistryKey it places the key under \Software\

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\"it goes here"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\"I want it here!"

Thanks,

Writing to the registry

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
