It doesn't take much to write the registry values and then delete them when
you shut down the application.

A small vbscript that puts the values in and then checks at intervals for
the existence of the OvationPro process to decide whether to remove them or
not should suffice.

Use the script to start OvP itself after the values are in place.

Of course the better way is to to do it in a launcher to avoid people
twiddling the script to do something totally unintended.
