Are you, by any chance trying to write to WIN.INI?

Good to hear. BTW, the reason I mentioned WIN.INI is that calls to that file also map to the registry.

BTW, this has reminded me that I hadn't tested the code against Win2K (now done) and XP (not done yet). So I owe you a thank you for reminding me that I do/did need to test against those platforms.
