Nope nope nope nope, HKLM is for Administrator users only.
Sorry for sounding a little harsh Mark, but I am right
on this.

I think I will have to write an article on this or something.

For all user settings, use HKEY_USERS (your hKey)
then.....
".DEFAULT\\Software\\Your Company\\Your Software Title\\" (your SubKey)
as the starting point for your settings.....

It will work in Win2k (all), WinXp Pro, Win2003 Server(s), Win Vista (all).

I have software that works on all these platforms without any
tricky coding and all work perfectly - same code base same EXE.
