However there is one major catch with this. If you put the registry keys under HKLM, on Windows 2000 you need Administrator privledges to be able to access that registry tree. I did an install to the system on my box, and both the Administrator and KendallB accounts worked fine, but regular users did not see the registry settings! I am not quite sure how you are supposed to fix this, but for the moment I still have to manually create the correct keys for regular users.
