11.9 HKDD
HKDD exists primarily as a convenience for
software developers whose programs were originally designed for
Win95. Applications written for Windows NT and Windows 2000 (notably
the Performance Monitor) don't get data out of HKDD; instead,
they use HKEY_PERFORMANCE_DATA. However, Win95 code that uses subkeys
of HKDD will still work, since the NT family remaps HKDD data into
the appropriate subkeys elsewhere in the Registry.
