			The property editor behaves erratically. In some Delphi installations it works as expected but in others the object inspector does not recognise it. The reason for this is unclear. Because of this the editor has been deprecated.

			This is a property editor for properties of type <var>HKEY</var> &ndash; the type used for registry root keys.
		</p>
		<p>
			When a <var>HKEY</var> property is selected in the Delphi Object Inspector the property editor displays a drop-down list of all the possible registry root keys, as defined in the <code>Windows</code> unit.
		</p>
		<p>
			Here is a screen-shot of the property editor in use in the Delphi 4 object inspector:
