Hi

It took me 2.5 hours to go through dozens upon dozens of registry keys, flip
ownership and then change permissions....when trying to perform this at a
higher level and using the option for changing it for all keys below the one
I was working on, it failed....was painful and frustrating. I would rather
turn off UAC forever and deal with the risk than waste my Saturday fighting
with my OS on basic simple tasks.
