Using Window XP Pro SP2
C++ Builder 2007

I have an application that uses WritePrivateProfileString to write the 
location of a temporary file to an ini file so that it can be located by 
multiple programs.  This code has been in use for 10+ years though 
various versions of C++ Builder.  The call to WritePrivateProfileString 
is now returning an access denied error.  The only thing I have changed 
on the suspect system is the application of the latest windows updates. 
  The following link addresses this problem.

support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q250067

The Microsoft support information is for Windows NT 4.0 and similar. 
Has anyone encountered similar errors after the application of the most 
recent windows xp updates?
