RE: [GD-Windows] Security/access when writing to registry

[Brian H. <bri...@py...>]

Thanks for the help everyone.  Yes, I was writing into
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.  Unfortunately, since
the game is already out and it stores config/high scores information
there, I need to either write an import facility or just continue to use
HKLM when possible.  The latter is easier, since 99.999% of our
particular users aren't going to have this problem.

So now I'm doing:

if ( RegCreateKeyEx( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, ... ) != ERROR_SUCCESS )
   if ( RegCreateKeyEx( HKEY_CURRENT_USER, ... ) 
.
.
.

Future versions will, of course, use HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
