Well that's not going to be a registry problem - it's likely a coding
error. The registry is neither good nor evil in my opinion, it's just the
way Microsoft wants things done now and I'm a little too tired to want to
argue :(

I did make the registry settings a more or less exact clone of the
pvengine.ini ones (i.e. the names etc). The net result of this is that the
code that stores and retrieves the settings can be easily made agnostic as
to where they come from/go to. With a few tweaks I could probably make it
support both (at user option). The API is the same as I abstract the calls
to the registry functions/INI functions behind a wrapper.

Note in case it's not absolutely clear to others reading this thread: the
settings being discussed are windows-specific for the UI portion of the
POVWIN program. They are not the base POV-Ray settings, which remain in INI
files as always.
