re-reading from registry

[Christoph Probst]

Hi,

I'm still working on the clamav integration in wine. One question that came up 
recently is how to handle configuration changes. I'd like to allow to 
configure the virusscanner 'online' without restarting the wineserver or 
applications currently running.

As the configuration is stored in the registry I could read all affected 
values every time I need them (that means several RegQueryValueExA() calls 
for every virusscan). But I found that this costs quite some time and even 
seems to cause IE5 to crash (does anyone know or want to know the reason?).

When I save a local copy of my registry values and only update them every x 
seconds everything is fine. But is that a recommended way or is there a 
better solution to get notified if a registry key has been changed?


If found RegNotifyChangeKeyValue() but I'm not sure if it is the right 
approach ...


Cheers
Chris
