Ok, well I guess that is great! Although I would have preferred a working
solution, I guess the knowledge that it is a bug in Windows is somewhat
reassuring. Since there will be some time before Longhorn is released I
believe I will go ahead and include the removal of this key as part of my
application's uninstall.
I would like to express my gratitude for your (and everyone else's)
assistance with this matter. It has certinally been a learning experience
to work on the interface definitions and the interaction with the StillImage
API. Once again, thank you.
