Description
The RTL_QUERY_REGISTRY_TYPECHECK flag support for the RtlQueryRegistryValues API was added in Windows 8. However this functionality was backported to Windows XP, 2k3, etc... as mentioned in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff562046(v=vs.85).aspx . It is used to counteract some potential security problems when checking for the type of a given registry value.
Because it was backported to Win2k3, I think it may be nice to also have this functionality added.
