Hi guys,<BR>
<BR>
Whilst looking into some winmm.dll modifications for ReactOS, I found that the Drivers and Drivers32 registry keys (used for determining the wavemapper, midi devices etc.) effectively replace those entries found in SYSTEM.INI of previous Windows versions.<BR>
<BR>
Looking around in the registry reveals that Windows has a set of registry keys that effectively map INI file sections to other registry keys.<BR>
<BR>This mapping is handled by the various "profile" APIs exported by kernel32, and is described on MSDN for the "GetPrivateProfileString" API:<BR>
<A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724353(VS.85).aspx#">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724353(VS.85).aspx#</A><BR>
<BR>
Since ReactOS imports WINE's kernel32, I checked WINE's kernel32 source code and found that this mapping doesn't take place.<BR>
<BR>
This in itself doesn't pose a problem - INI files work, after all! However IMO it may be worth implementing this functionality, and this is something I would be interested in doing. It makes more sense (to me anyway) to implement this in WINE rather than directly in ReactOS. And it seems relatively trivial.<BR>
<BR>
Just thought I'd post here and gather any thoughts on this?<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
