Hi,

How can I allow ordinary users to write to keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?

I want my program to set NukeOnDelete
in(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\bit
bucket) to 1 at startup and reset it to 0 on exit.

Logged on as Administrator, there is no problem. Logged on as a user without
admin rights, any attempt to write to the key fails.

I have searched and searched and found nothing!!

Thanks

Brian
