On my machine this is:
AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib
comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib
odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib"

(Just in case you plan on linking against the shell common controls or ODBC,
you never know! <g>)

And I don't recall needing to edit it myself, I just did the normal install
of VCExpress and the PSDK.

Not to put words in Shourya's mouth but it must be advapi32.lib since it was
the registry functions that wouldn't link, at least in the errors shown in
the PRF.

It's always good to stay current.  There were lots of bugs fixed, see
