Owner registry formaty file ?

Is it possible to use the registry functions (or other functions) to read and write into a file with the same format of the registry ? I want to store data with the same kind of architecture of the Windows registry and it will very nice if I can have the same format and functions for my own file.

Thanks.

ReadPrivateProfileString/WritePrivateProfileString are the old win16 functions to write ini files. You could use this.
