Personally I think writing to the registry is fine, and in fact, expected
behavior.  The registry is a common place to store settings and related
data.  It's no more dangerous to write to the registry than writing to/or
deleting from a drive.  Ask Chipp Walters about his experience with
revDeleteFolder about a year back :-)
