Hi Ed,

Thanks for your continued assistance.

If the machine is rebooted and a different user logs in the new user cannot read that key (through Regedit or my class). If the original user logs in again they can read the key and anything under it.

If the Original user logs into a different machine, the key does not appear on that machine as you suggest may be the case.

It looks to me as if the key created under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE has been created specific to one user and one user only.

I am looking at building a my own SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR through fox and working around that way. Do you have any advice on my situation, have you yourself come across difficulties with fox's registry manipulation under Windows NT? What are Roaming Registry Keys?

Many thanks for the assitance you have provided.

Ben
