You really should avoid modifying the Registry directly for these reason. If Windows changes the location of this information (think in terms of how IIS moved their configuration from the Registry to their metabase) your script will break.
You should use the proper Win32 APIs (Win32::Service, Win32::Lanman, Win32::Daemon, etc). -----Original Message----- From: Patrick J.
