This is very interesting. I come from a Macintosh background. I have always read that one of the fundamental differences when developing for Windows is that instead of using the Preferences folder to store a Preferences file as we do on the Mac, on Windows one should use the Registry to store preferences. Now you're saving that the AV community (or at least this one vendor) is essentially reversing that design directive.

Sure, The problem I had with Trend Micro Systems is that have a 'Preference Protection System' which locks down the Windows Registry. My program used to use the Windows Registry to store its preferences, now however it uses the preferences folder and creates an XML file. This procedure is recommended by Trend as a safe way to store preferences. It seems totally outrageous that they would lock down the Windows Registry, but hey thats life.
