System Registry Provider
The System Registry provider enables management applications to retrieve and modify data in the system registry, and receive notifications when changes occur. The registry can be located on a local or remote computer. The _Win32Provider instance name is RegProv; the property provider name is RegPropProv; and the event provider name is RegistryEventProvider. For more information, see Modifying the System Registry.
StdRegProv is placed in the \root\default namespace by WMI. You can compile the Managed Object Format (MOF) file that defines the provider into another namespace for use by your applications. Regevent.mof is the .mof file name.
The provider has the following __Win32Provider instances:
- "RegProv"
- "RegistryEventProvider"
- "RegPropProv"
As an instance, property, and event provider, the System Registry provider supports the standard IWbemProviderInit interface, and the following IWbemServices methods:
- CreateInstanceEnumAsync
- ExecMethodAsync
- ExecNotificationQueryAsync
- ExecQueryAsync
- GetObjectAsync

The System Registry provider supports the following classes located in the \root\default namespace:
