    <p>I wrote three programs that modifies the registry in Windows Mobile to install and remove a todayscreen plugin for debugging purposes. They worked great for a while, but one by one they have suddenly been giving "UnauthorizedAccessException"s.</p> <p>See the code for two of the programs below (note that the following code just sits directly in Main, so it runs and then the program terminates)...</p> <p>RegistryInit.exe:</p> <pre><code>RegistryKey CustomItem = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TodayLauncher"); CustomItem.SetValue("Type", 4, RegistryValueKind.DWord); CustomItem.SetValue("Enabled", 1, RegistryValueKind.DWord); CustomItem.SetValue("Options", 1, RegistryValueKind.DWord); CustomItem.SetValue("DLL", @"\Program Files\TodayLauncher\TodayLauncher.dll", RegistryValueKind.String); CustomItem.SetValue("Config", @"\Program Files\TodayLauncher\Settings.cfg", RegistryValueKind.String); CustomItem.SetValue("Selectability", 1, RegistryValueKind.DWord); SendMessage((IntPtr)HWND_BROADCAST, WM_WININICHANGE, 0xF2, 0); </code></pre> <p>RegistryClear:</p> <pre><code>Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.DeleteSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TodayLauncher"); SendMessage((IntPtr)HWND_BROADCAST, WM_WININICHANGE, 0xF2, 0); </code></pre> <p>The third program was a configuration program that had options to add and remove the registry keys using exact copies of the code above, but it never quite worked. For a while it could run the code for "RegistryInit", but that didn't last long. Now the original "RegistryClear" program doesn't work, giving the same UnauthorizedAccessException. I find it very weird that these programs worked find for a while, then suddenly have stopped working.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p>
