[DUG] Windows Service accessing registry

A service can read from and write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, but you might also
try HKEY_USERS_DEFAULT if you store per-user information.

Subject: [DUG] Windows Service accessing registry

I've just worked out that Windows Services don't access the 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER section of the registry even if I set it too (which 
makes sense I guess). Where is the correct location in the registry I 
should be reading and writing to for a Windows Service?

Phil.
