Correct! A zero terminated c-style string! So agin what is your problem?

So why you bother us with this issue?

You get all the information that you need to work with the registry.

Insisting on that other people should do an additional work just to please =
you will considered (at least by me)  as wasting time and increasing inform=
ational noise because there is nothing new or valuable in the additional ma=
ils .

Thats your problem ;->=3D>

But to be serious just remove the last char from the string that's all.(sim=
ple isn't it ??)
In case you are using C you can even omit that because terminating a string=
 with a zero byte is the native way of C to represent strings.

Have a nice day
