the hell!! ?? Ohhhh.

RP_ADMIN only affects Run Program which you're not doing.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE requires Admin rights so you'll need to run your Macro/Macro Scheduler/Exe as Admin.

Also, if you're on 64 bit Windows, see:

V12 will have an option to make the native reg functions write to the 64 bit hive.

This is not a good solution !!!
Make a program that must run on XP and Windows 7_x86.
The program will write additional switches in motion and the proposal does not suits me.
Is there no other way???

Then please complain to Microsoft who designed Windows Vista/7 that way. We can't change the way Windows works. HKLM has always required Admin privs. In XP users are Admin by default. In Vista/7 users run with lower pivs by default and have to provide their consent for things that require Admin privs.

If you don't like this please go and complain elsewhere and take your "the hell" comments with you.

O.K. I just asked!
I understand that there is no other way.
I will revise my program.

Thanks for clarification!
