Most things can be done with Win32API, for an example of registry
manipulation there is

/tmp/ruby/ext/Win32API/lib/win32/registry.rb

if you dl and unpack a ruby source code tarball in /tmp. I bet you can
learn a lot by studying it. I'm not sure if its included with Andy's
installer so you'd better get a source code tarball.
