Thanks, I imagined it, even i already have it as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE... but
if the user is not an administrator will not be able to change its
values....  I want to save in the registry the windows position, height and
width.  Than, i suppost that i only have to create for each user a copy of
the Local Mchine keys to Current user (when the keys in the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER doesn't exist) and after that use only those keys of the
current user.

I didn't made that before because after that, the unistall program will not
delete the information in the  HKEY_CURRENT_USER.  Is that too bad, leave
trash in the registry after a program is no more in a machine, or it is a
normal procedure?.

Thanks.
