    If you log in as a limited user on XP and later (in its default install
    condition)
    you will only have write to areas where you should (the user account's
    keys).
    You should review the guidance for Windows application logo certification
    as it details application installation and runtime behaviors that are
    correct
    for both registry and filesystem usage.
