It looks like my service app cannot read from registry's current user. In my service app there is somewhere i set the [user] option to [localsystem] is that why i cannot read from current user? But i can read from HKLM. I cannot use HKLM because it requires Admin rights to write to. Is there any registry hive i can use that enables a limited user to write to?

Services don't have a "current user".

"my service app" - is that Windows Service?

What is writing to the registry? Where are you deploying? Can you use impersonation with a click-once authorization to write to HKLM?

Thanks Aday.
Hiller, its a windows service.
PhilLenoir, I wanted to write a temporary value somewhere so i thought Current value would be the best option. Click once has always given me errors when i tried to compile my applications. So i always choose to disable it

I guess i could just write that temp value to a file, but i didn't want to use a file. Thank you guys
