Help with C++?

[funeralcrasher]

I'm using Visual Studio 6.0 and need to read a value from the registry and assign to a variable. My first step is learning which headers and namespaces allow access to Microsoft's registry functions.

So, this is what I have so far:

#include "stdafx.h"	// won't work without this
#include 	// used for cout
#include 	//file stream 
#include 	// used for string
#include 

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<direct.h>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

I'm using Visual Studio 6.0 and need to read a value from the registry and assign to a variable. My first step is learning which headers and namespaces allow access to Microsoft's registry functions.

So, this is what I have so far:

<pre>#include "stdafx.h" // won't work without this
#include <iostream> // used for cout
#include <fstream> //file stream
#include <string> // used for string
#include <direct.h> // used for _getcwd
#include <stdlib.h> // used for system()

using namespace std;
using namespace Microsoft::Win32;</pre>

Compiling results in two errors:

<pre>test.cpp(20) : error C2653: 'Microsoft' : is not a class or namespace name
test.cpp(20) : error C2871: 'Win32' : does not exist or is not a namespace</pre>

Have I started down the wrong path?
