Is there a description of all of the items that are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop for
Vista?

I have code that manipulates these but Vista adds some additional parameters. Is there a complete
definition available somewhere?

Thanks but I am looking for the description of what they do -- although most are obvious -- and for
the ones that have a defined set of values their enums.
