Hi, I want to Write DWORD Value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer. My application writes the value registry only if i run my application as an administrator on vista. I want on normal exe execution. and I dont want to disable UAC on vista. Reply ASAP. Regars, Sunil G.
