You are correct, you cannot create 16-bit DOS apps with a development 
tool designed to create only 32-bit Windows applications.  However, if 
you purchased the Professional or Client/Server versions of CBuilder, you 
are entitiled to a copy of BC++ v5.02 which can build 16-bit DOS 
applications.  

If, for whatever reason, you really do need to write a registry 
manipulation program for Windows 3.1, there are registry functions in 
shellapi.h which can be used to manipulate registry entries on a DOS 
machine running windows.  These are documented in the BC5 Windows API 
Reference helpfile.
