This is a general problem with the way DQSD current
works. We need to put user configuration info in the
appdata directory not in the installation directory.
So you switch the color scheme to classic and then try
to use DQSD as admin and you'll wish it was the blue
theme. I think we should revisit this problem for 4.0
(which is what I think the next version should be with
DQSD being hosted in a deskbar).

Yes, they're no longer user-edited so probably should
be removed in uninstaller.

Probably.

We need to check the error code on the registry write.

The Windows XP theme checking essentially just checks
a couple of registry settings. Wouldn't be too hard
to add to DQSDTools and then add the theme picking
code to search.htm to include the proper css file.
But then I said I wouldn't touch anything else until
the next release :) :)

It looks like there might be with NSIS 2.0. Take a
look at the 'UserInfo' plugin. Here's a snippet I
found at:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/popfile/windows/adduser.nsi?rev=1.17
get_usertype:
UserInfo::GetAccountType
Pop $G_WINUSERTYPE
StrCmp $G_WINUSERTYPE "Admin" exit
StrCmp $G_WINUSERTYPE "Power" exit
StrCmp $G_WINUSERTYPE "User" exit
StrCmp $G_WINUSERTYPE "Guest" exit
StrCpy $G_WINUSERTYPE "Unknown"
exit:
