I don't know if you've already resolved this, but in case you haven't:
As long as you don't specify your database as the default client storage
repository, you shouldn't have any problems. This means, leave the Registry
as the default client repository, and use the CLIENTSTORAGE attribute in
your application's CFAPPLICATION tag.
Also, if you need to fix the problem, you can simply edit the Registry and
set the default client storage back to the Registry. The key of interest is
HKLM\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\ClientStores
and the value of DefaultStore should be set to "Registry". Sorry it took so
long to respond!
