scenario: no registry access, C:\ locked out


As I have been somewhat of a spurious lurker, I wonder if the scenario where the end user does not have write access to c:\ and the registry is Adm. edit access only has been considered.  The end user can still change the user environment but cannot use regedit for instance. B19*, B20* and v1.1.1 appear not to care.  This is somewhat of a philosophical question that may have impact on portability issues down the road.  Is there a movement toward having more involvement in things that lead to an end user editing the registry to make things work?
