Problem with that is that if the sysadmin knows what he's doing, it only
takes about 4 seconds to block off almost all possible ways of actually
editing the registry...
Definitely not.
Oh yes it does. Start->Run->regedit. Right-click the user's tree under
HKEY_USERS, choose Permissions, remove their write access leaving them a
read-only per-user registry tree. Easily done in 4 seconds by an experienced
BOFH, and can't be reversed without admin rights!

Thankyou for proving my point Dave.
Does anyone else feel Thorsten should let this go now, before we all
lose any semblance of respect for him as a person? (Or did that already
happen to the rest of you?)

keenly through, seeing all that you are and everything that you will
never be. Yes, an eye is upon you, an eye ready to blink. So face
forward, with arms wide open and mind reeling. Your future has
arrived... Are you ready to go?
