Vista - Editing the registry

[fev]

I have a app that adds entries to the registry under HKLM. It works flawlessly in XP, but Vista is simply a no go. It's just a simple tweak app that changes things in the OS (Disable message ballons, Disable windows clock, etc).

I read it may be because of UAC? But even if it is, I don't think disabling that is the right path to go down.

Maybe I might be able to accomplish these same tweaks under HKCU and just do things user by user instead of system wide. I heard HKCU wasn't protected as harshly by UAC, but I don't know that for sure.


Does anyone have any insight or ideas? I'm new to Vista, so bare with me =).

Brainstorming more...

Is there any code in vb.net that'll force the program to promt Windows for access to the system? Seems like every other app I install in Vista, it asks me if I want to allow said program to access my system. This doesn't happen with any of my vb apps though..

Maybe that'd be a solution?
