The Java registry API works the same on windows as it does with other 
systems (like unix) that don't have a defined 'registry'. So I'm with 
mark in asking why it's a pain.

OpenRPG won't be using the 'Registry' anyway. Like in openrpg1 we will 
be using a dedicated directory in the users home to hold plain text 
properties files. This makes them easy to manually edit and simplifies 
loading/saving of preference info.
