Since Juergen is busy, I tried it myself on Nt4; it works fine. I can't say if it's a
specific bug of this function or if
it's a general feature of the registry (maybe the desired access does not restrict the
existing access
in the way a file read open restrict what you can do to a file even if you have write
rights)
