Last nitpick: if you can&#39;t get the windows directory, just<br>
ShellExecute &quot;regedit.exe&quot; directly, as the code originally did --<br>
this is the behavior on Windows, fyi.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Though it is the behavior on Windows, it is a bad thing, IMHO. There are already too many little viruses who pretend to be a system executable, say, explorer.exe, and they are placed in a (sub)directory of the windows directory to be shell executed. If we can&#39;t get the windows direcoty, we should let the user know, and give them the chance to fix it, instead of blindly execute anything.<br>
I used to suffer from those, and they were really annoying. Please consider being different from Windows in this and similar issues.<br>MHO.<br>
