Summary: problem win32api when consulting the registry  Reg_MULTI_SZ

Initial Comment:
hello,
First, I hope that they pardon the English to me, since I am Spanish and am using the tool of google. The problem takes place when consulting registry keys type reg_MULTI_SZ with several values, the turn out  to give several values and single it shows one. Example: 
[pendientes.reg]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]

It appears the paths in the data are separated by double NULLs, which are
used as a terminator
for REG_MULTI_SZ values.  According to the docs here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/regentry/58499.mspx?mfr=true
this key shouldn't be manipulated directly (probably for this very same
reason).
You should be able to use win32file.MoveFileEx with
MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT instead.

                 Roger
