Int eh windows registry what is the key's class

Several of the registry functions deal with a class string varaible associated with registry keys.  If can't find anything on the signficance of this value.  Nor can I seem to find a case where it is not a NULL string.  What is it?  How is it used?

Good question. I always wondered about that, too. Win9x doesn't even support this class registry parameter (AFAIK)...

Not really what I wanted to hear.  :-_
Same answer again - I did (some time ago) an extensive MSDN search about this, it's only mentioned in the Registry API documentaiton, without explanation. To me it looks like a feature that made it into the API but nowhere else.
perhaps crawl your registry and see if there's any key that has an non-empty class string....

I don't see where the class string appears in the registry editor.  None fo the key's i've quired programtically have a non-empty class string.
