Yep, it is much clearer now, thanks!

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.

Regards,
