Hi TheDanishGuy,

On any Windows NT type version's i know you need to be logged in with admin rights to add or delete keys in the registry!

uhm.. actually the user can delete registry keys without admin rights as long as the key to edit is below HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

What is the actual routine that you use to access the registry? Sorry if this is a dumb question.
