Hi all,

We have an application that makes use of the registry for storing
information locally for the application that maintains some aspects of the
application state. This was never a problem with us previously. However
now we have a requirement with a new customer that the application must be
deployed with "user" access rights under Win2K. This causes a problem in
that we are unable to update the registry by our application. Is there a
means of somehow giving an application rights to update the registry (e.g.
specific reg keys)?

thanks
Jason
