Surely IMHO before ImpersonateLoggedOnUser. What I'm uncomfortable with is to close something I don't think we own. I would not free() memory I don't own, nor close() a file descriptor I don't own. Are things different with these registry key handles, and is it allowed and typical to close HKEY_CURRENT_USER? Christophe
