Hello,

I created an App that writes small amounts of data to the registry. This
works in Windows XP with no problem, however, Windows 7 gives the following
error:

"Requested registry access is not allowed".

I am not sure how to work around this.

I am using VS 2005. Code examples would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Chuck

You should be writing to the HKEY_Current_User portion of the registry
without issue. Even within XP, you could experience issues if you try
writing outside of there. Where are you trying to write?

Windows Vista and 7 are not XP, and you're not going to be able to do on
Vista or 7 what you can do on XP.

You should look up information using Bing or Google on how to deal with
virtualization.
