I was not here then, it is history for me, so I am not sure about all
details. I believe Steve Kemp implemented this. I think I have seen
several versions though. I just checked the net and could not find the
version I was thinking of.
This included capabilities to right to the Registry (if I remember
correctly), but I consider those potentially harmful. Writing should be
done under very good control (since it could make a disaster) and I do
not consider even an editor as Emacs as giving that tight control.

I see no reason why Emacs should be able to edit the w32 Registry, but
reading it would be very convenient. It should not be seen as giving
Emacs extra features on w32. Rather it is another way to accomplish the
same thing that are already easily accomplished on unix like systems.
(At least I believe that this is the state.)
Paper size is one I remember right now. Another is the location of
Ghostscript. If Emacs could read the registry then such things would be
easy to get by just writing some elisp code for it. Am I not right
assuming that these things are already easy to get on unix like systems?
