It's great, and I certainly hope they leave my full rights on when we go prime time. I might give using the registry for my app settings a new try, at that point...

OK. That's what I thought they were doing. There is nothing to stop an application from updating the Registry. We had a similar policy at a place where I used to work. We just wrote a little VFP app that unlocked the registry via an API call, then ran REGEDIT to do what we needed.
