+1 on better names, -1 on removing the reserved parameter

The parameters of OpenKey mirror those of the underlying RegOpenKey call.  If we remove the reserved parameter, then:

1) Any code currently using the sam parameter will break, since it's currently only positional

2) If Microsoft later makes the reserved parameter do something, then we will have to reinsert a parameter before sam or have our arguments in a different order than RegOpenKey

For what it's worth, RegOpenKey names the parameters: hKey, lpSubKey, ulOptions, and samDesired.
