The return value identifies the specified string. If the string cannot be found in the specified property list, the return value is NULL.

Remarks

An application must free the data handles associated with entries removed from a property list. The application can remove only those properties it has added. It must not remove properties added by other applications or by Windows itself.

The RemoveProp function returns the data handle associated with the string so that the application can free the data associated with the handle.
