Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] registry path Re: how to edit/add an entry in windows registry?

I want to edit a registry related to the capture device selected.
To get the registry path of a capture device, we need to know its SubDriverKey which could be specified somewhere in windows registry.
 
When Wireshark make a list of available devices for capture preparation, we get the list from dumpcap but name, description, and ip_address are saved. Were they retrieved from registry table? Is there a way to get their corresponding driver key?
 
Many thanks,
Joshua

If the registry values are specific to Wireshark, you might also want to
update packaging\nsis\wireshark.nsi to do any necessary housekeeping
when the user uninstalls Wireshark.
