Under :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio
\7.1\VC\VC_OBJECTS_PLATFORM_INFO\Win32\Directories

You need to add the strings:
"Include Dirs"(path to toolkit \include; path to platform sdk \include)
"Library Dirs"(path to toolkit \lib; path to platform sdk \lib)
"Path Dirs" (path to toolkit \bin; path to platform sdk \bin)
