RE: Proper Security Procedure for Running non-installed EXE

FYI - To all those who are trying to troubleshoot this problem. When I tried
to follow the advice of creating a test account and granting this account
Full Control of the registry, it corrupted the registry on that server. I
had to rebuild my server last night... that's a few hours of my life I won't
get back.

Thanks, Jeff
