I don't think that was the primary reason to create the user, but rather to keep the settings in only single place (like the /etc folder in Unix/Linux environments IIRC). In the ideal case, if I need to look up a setting and/or fix it manually, I type regedit, choose either HKLM or HKCU, then open "Software", find the vendor name and/or product name, hey presto. Right now, everyone yearns for .ini style single configuration files instead of the registry. But a couple of years back, everyone cursed at the darn .ini files that were scattered all over one's harddisk. Its not exactly logical to want that what was bad 10 years back now, when things haven't become exactly less complex. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) Da kleckst ein Typ eine rote Linie mit zwei schwarzen Punkten auf eine Leinwand, behauptet, das würde für das Universum stehen, und ein Haufen intellektueller Idioten mit ihren Capuccinos diskutiert fünf Stunden lang darüber.
