Find a better place to store reg keys

[Andrew Reid]

Gt currently puts the reg code in the registry under both HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

The problem is that, since Vista, normal users can't write into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and there have been problems with roaming profiles losing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key on logout.

Possible solutions:

1. Elevate permissions to set registry code?
2. Store registry code in filesystem. This might have the same problems - need admin rights to store in a place visible to all users.
