How to read Vista registry values containing @DllFilename.dll?

Our Win32 app currently reads various values from registry strings. But in
Vista, these values no longer contain the string we're expecting. Instead,
they contain something like:

@themeuidll.dll.-852

I assume that this means we need to access the themui.dll file and reference
something by 852? Is it that we need to load the dll then extract the string
resource identified by the ordinal 852 to get the actual string value we're
looking for?

I'm pretty new to Vista so any direction on this would be most welcome

Thanks!
Mark

Hi,

Might want to check the Vista SDK, or check with a group that supports the
language you're app is written in.

SDK:
