Hi,

Looked up my notes and it turns out the Voloview was a bit of a challenge
after all. When first installed it would give a "failed to write to system
registry" error. Following it with nt registry monitor showed voloview
hitting a large number of keys under HKLM and HKCR and getting access denied
errors. Almost looked too hard.

I did a couple of things to "fix" this. 

The first was to modify voloview.exe itself. If you open voloview.exe with
reshacker, there is a REGISTRY entry, and under that are additional entries
which actually determine which registry keys get written to by voloview. I
changed all HKLM entries to HKCU, and HKCR entries to HKCU\Software\Classes,
remembering to select "compile script" before changing screens, and saving
the result. Running Voloview after that showed it was hitting only 2
registry keys, HKCR\Voloview.Document.1 and
HKCR\CLSID\{6C9FD2AD-78FA-11d2-9208-0060B0870405}. I changed the permissions
on these keys to full control for users and no more problems.

Hope this helps.

regards,

Rick
