That certainly hasn't been the behavior in the past. I've had to change the
HKLM\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\ClientStores\DefaultStore
value to "Registry" in the past, when locked out of a CF Administrator
(which was returning an error message about the client database being
inaccessible).
