Will the "RegCreateKeyEx" and "RegOpenKeyEx" methods work with both 32 and 64-bit Windows?
Yes - how else could 32-bit applications (vast numbers of which access the registry) run in 64-bit Windows otherwise? Obviously your program will only 'see' the 32-bit registry, so if you're trying to find your registry entries using (for example) the 64-bit version of REGEDIT you will need to look in the relevant WoW6432Node section.

WoW6432Node: that's the key word I was looking for. My program needs to access the registry entries of someone else's 64-bit program. More homework needed.
