I am pretty certain that 30/12/1899 is a unique start point for Delphi - other systems (Unix and Windows) look to start at 1970 or 1980. I am guessing as I haven't dealt with registry dates that you need to do something similar to a file datestamp - FileDatetoDateTime and/or FileTimeToSystemTime API
I saw some code examples at http://www.efg2.com/Lab/Library/Delphi/DatesAndTimes/index.html which appear to back this up (about 1/4 way down the page). Is the date value likely to be a windows integer date/timestamp?
