He can also use the functionality in 2.6.x, 2.7.1 "just" wraps the 
necessary house keeping. For this he can open the remote registry with 
RegConnectRegistry and pass resulting HKEY handle to the Rootkey 
property of a TRegistry instance. Afterwards he can work normally with 
TRegistry. At the end he needs to close the Rootkey using RegCloseKey. 
This is basically what TRegistry now does in 2.7.1 as well.
