All of the info you mentioned is stored in the Windows Registry and not
portable to SQL via any method I've tried (which has actually included
writing wrapper DLLs to make apps think they are writing to the registry,
but actually redirecting the request to ODBC). You could use Win32 API
calls to read/write it, but...well, you probably already know that the
Registry is not the most efficient database. What I have done in the past
is run the Registry from a RAM disk to decrease the chance of it tripping
over itself from too many updates (i.e. removing disk I/O). Good luck!
