Registry Key Masks
Registry key masks are "templates" against which registry key names are matched. A registry key mask may begin with a "registry key path", or may simply be a standalone key name; and both the key name part and the path part may contain single-character wildcards (?) and/or multi-character wildcards (*). Here are a few examples of registry key masks:
- \REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\*
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\*
- *Microsoft*
