Unlocking registry settings

By default, Windows Terminal Services clients do not have write access to the registry on the Windows Terminal Services computer, except to the registry hive under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

To run some Outlook features, you might want to give users write access to some keys and subkeys.

For example, unlock the subkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID to allow users to use the custom MAPI forms for Office Outlook 2007.
