I have no Problem with editing the registry, but I know a lot of
users that are using windows quite a lot and haven't even seen the
registry on their system.

These users have grown up with checkboxes and radiobuttons not knowing
about any hidden configfiles they don't need to know

These userers are stetting up the bat on their system and a lot of
them know what files are dangerous and which aren't!

So I would vote for something in the Bats UI (maybe something an admin
could deactivate (grey) in the registry settings :-) )

The problem is that I could do that over the network anyway but if
you have administrators settings, normal users shouldnt be able to
change them and also. what about the bulk of email users?
They havent got a clue what they are doing and imagine they test the
Bat as potential emailer and get these warnings and cannot get rid of
them OR modify them.
if I would set up the BAT as administrator they shouldnt be able to
get to any settings even via the registry.
If its their own system, they should have the right to deactivate
things they donot like.
if it means they get caught by a virus, their problem.
If potential customers see those banners they may cost you lost
sales...
