For what it's worth, this doesn't have anything to do with the registry
itself, or Windows, but rather just that CF has hard-coded keys used for
encryption and decryption, built into the server itself. That's why there's
a publicly available utility for decrypting CF files - the encryption that
Allaire provides just isn't that good, and the keys used can't ever be
changed.
