Brian Curtin <curtin at acm.org> added the comment:

RegDeleteKeyEx will only work on a Windows version of 5.2 or greater (Vista/XP x64), and XP is 5.1, so RegDeleteKeyEx can't be a simple drop-in under the "DeleteKey" name.

CreateKeyEx is different though since it goes as far back as Win2k, and it could be put into CreateKey like you suggest. However, given the way the rest of the module is laid out with *Key and *KeyEx already, it seemed more consistent the way I had written it. I could change this if more people agree with your plan.
