What does my program need to do, in order to convince Windows (both XP
and Vista) that this operation is OK? A manifest with some magic
value inside? Code-signing the app?
Yes, I realize it is very likely that the anti-virus program will then
pop up and warn the user that this is happening, that's expected and
acceptable.
Thanks in advance,

I suspect your not opening the key with enough permissions such as the
ability to manipulate values...
Try opening the key with full rights, KEY_ALL_ACCESS if i'm not mistaken and
see if that helps - it's a HKCU key so you're safe to do that...
As you saw, error code 5 is access denied and given this is a HKCU key /
value you really shouldn't have a problem. There is nothing I know of that
puts such security methods to prevent this -
Cheers,
