Re: How to give Registry editing rights to XP Pro user?

Well the user DOES have administrator rights on the local machine, so

Well if you're sure that the account the user is logging onto the machine
with has local admin rights on that machine, then either the software you're
working with is installed incorrectly or is a pile of junk that you'd be
well advised to throw away.

Going on what you describe of the phonecall to their tech support line, I'd
suspect the latter case.
