New subject: [PATCH v2] services: Allow reading binary registry values as DWORDs

12 May 2019

Some programs/services actually save those values as a registry
value of the type REG_BINARY. As long as the size matches it
shouldn't be a problem to just interpret it as a DWORD type,
but warn anyways in case someone runs into issues.
