In the context of the web-server "service", it runs as username SYSTEM or
[someotheruser] and is therefore not you. I would personnally stay away from
anything like this that is specific to one platform.. what if you want to move
this to a REAL O/S - your registry stuff would break. Build it using a MySQL
database or even an XML data file so you can move it to any platform - and
would be much simpler to manage.
