Registry security problem

Hi
I have a problem writing to a registry key while not logged in as
Administrator. I have checked the rights using RegEdt32 and the key gives
Read value, Write Value, Delete, create subkey + others to everyone. However
when I try to add a new string value to an existing key using my Delphi app
it fails. If I try to do the same thing with Regedit it works fine! - Any
ideas?

Thanks in advance

Re:Registry security problem

Use a TRegistry class instead TRegIni which have a bug.
Or use API functions.
