How to extract the standard registry value type from a legitimate unknown value type?

QUESTION

How to extract the standard registry value type from a legitimate unknown value type?

Asked 2018-May-20 at 18:45

Background

I notice there are many legitimate unknown value types in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE of Windows 10. These are just a few of them:

0x100000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages\hidbthle.inf_amd64_55f7f576bf549669\Configurations\HidBthLE.NT\Device] "WUDF"
0x200000 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class{4d36e96c-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\Configuration\Reset\Driver] "DevLoader"
0x40007 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages\cdrom.inf_amd64_21e18060f597c313\Configurations\cdrom_install\Services\cdrom] "AutoRunAlwaysDisable"
0xffff0009 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Upgrade\NetworkDriverBackup\Control\NetworkSetup2\Interfaces{0176DBBA-3617-44FF-BA79-90375AAC4B6A}\Properties{a111f1f4-5923-47c0-9a68-d0bafb577901}\0004] "(Default)"
0xffff000d [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Upgrade\NetworkDriverBackup\Control\NetworkSetup2\Filters{171C5016-3D19-4CB2-9556-63E586EE5010}\Properties{a111f1f7-5923-47c0-9a68-d0bafb577901}\0002] "(Default)"
0xffff100d [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Upgrade\NetworkDriverBackup\Control\NetworkSetup2\Filters{E475CF9A-60CD-4439-A75F-0079CE0E18A1}\Properties{a111f1f0-5923-47c0-9a68-d0bafb577901}\0052] "(Default)"
0xffff2012 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Upgrade\NetworkDriverBackup\Control\NetworkSetup2\Clients{54494F4E-5441-4B53-CCB9-061A6EC4BF6E}\Properties{a111f1f1-5923-47c0-9a68-d0bafb577901}\0002] "(Default)"

Interestingly, NirSoft RegScanner interprets the value type 0xffff0009 as REG_FULL_RESOURCE_DESCRIPTOR (0x09).

Since the predefined constants defined in "winnt.h" (see below) are no more than one byte, my temporary conclusion is that we should AND the value type reported by RegQueryValueEx() with 0x000000ff. However, I'm not sure about this.

registry subsystem not interpret (and not check) the Type value of key. it simply store or load it as DWORD data. as result we in principle can use any value for type with any data. say for example we can do
