Thanks for the reply. So, there is probably no solution, and the user will have to approve at every reboot under Vista (not too bad, I suppose). That's because the application is MJ Registry Watcher ( http://www.jacobsm.com/mjsoft.htm#rgwtchr with a forum thread at http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=54666&page=21 ) and it needs to write to any registry branch if a trojan has done something naughty!
