On a side not (and no I don't work for the company) if this is an
absolutely have to run, has to work and the vendor is chainging it type
of app, you could look at using Softricity to deploy the app to your
terminal servers. I have this running for a couple of client and since
it builds a virtual registry that the app uses when it runs and stores
those at logoff in the home dir each user CAN write to HKLM and get
individual settings.=20
It works real well.

Thanks for the info. I have tried something similar to that and it
generates a lot of errors. I think I need to request that the vendor
make
some app changes before I do anything else.
