Hi As I understand it, Microsoft has introduced 'virtualization' into Vista to prevent users from writing data to 'sensitive' (i.e. HKLM) parts of the registry. Instead they want developers to ensure that they write to 'safe' locations (i.e. HKCU). My problem is this; our application shares a number of global settings with all other system users. So for example, on WinXP if 'user a' makes a change to our application, all other users will see the same change when they login. With Windows Vista, when 'user a' makes a change, it gets stored in the 'virtual store' and none of the other user get to see it. Is there anyway to work around this? Thanks Eddie. |
