Hi All,

Four questions on lpSubKey.

I am trying to code the following in Raku's (Perl 6's)
NativeCall:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winreg/nf-winreg-regopenkeyexw

     C++
     LSTATUS RegOpenKeyExW(
       HKEY    hKey,
       LPCWSTR lpSubKey,
       DWORD   ulOptions,
       REGSAM  samDesired,
       PHKEY   phkResult
     );

     lpSubKey
     The name of the registry subkey to be opened.

My goal is to read the value of:

 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]

     "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000

But first I have to open the key.

1) am I opening

     \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
or
     \Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLUA

2) forward slashes or back slashes?

3) does it use a starting slash?

4) does it use an ending slash?

Many thanks,
-T
