Registering to Receive Connection Notifications

After you have created a DLL to receive connection notifications, you must register it with the system. You do this by adding a REG_EXPAND_SZ value under the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Notifyees

key. This value specifies the path to the DLL that implements the Connection Notification API.

The value can have any name. All values under the Notifyees key are treated as paths to DLLs that are notified of connection events. It is recommended that you use a name that identifies your DLL. This lessens the chance of a name conflict with other connection notification applications.
