hi Will and Doug,

Yes... I think Will's reply is about right from what I
can see. I was trying to create at the "root" branch of
the HKLM. No can do...

I tried adding entires at existing sub branches of HKLM
and I did not have problems. Originally, I thought I had
a problem, at least I now know that this is normal.

Thanks for the answers.

BTW, do you know of any good scripting site with tons of
sample scripts? :))

Regards,
cml
