Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [cfinck] 33547: Make 100% sure that the correct "regedit.exe" is launched by using GetWindowsDirectory and appending "\regedit.exe" as suggested by Alex on ros-dev.

[Alex Ionescu]

This is still wrong. Tcscat is completely unsafe and can result in you
overwriting the path as soon as the user has a windows path longer
than MAX_PATH - sizeof("regedit.exe").
Please use the PathAppend API for this.
