I can confirm that this bug has been fixed on Windows 7 x64 (all current MS patches): the Greenshot-INSTALLER-1.2.9.37-UNSTABLE installer no longer adds special modify permissions for the Users group to the registry key HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Run when run with administrator privileges.
I'm glad I checked for the latest version on the GiHub page--I'd never been aware of this potential security issue being present on my machine caused by an earlier version being installed with administrator privileges.

Thanks for confirming this, as I don't have time to investicate how I can check if my changes worked and the initial reporter didn't respond.
I ALMOST wanted to roll back my changes, without someone testing them it might have done more harm that solve issues... (it was like this for years, and no-one complained so far)
Thanks, this means I can close the ticket as tested!
