It is written in HKCU.
I deleted it, uninstalled and reinstalled KM
and then created the screenshot.

I've also added UserChoice in HKLM for testing
and on my system, it is written in the exact 
same position as it is in HKCU.

Your Wow6432Node is interesting:

'The Wow6432 registry entry indicates that 
you're running a 64-bit version of Windows.
The OS uses this key to present a separate view 
of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE for 32-bit applications 
that run on a 64-bit version of Windows.'

We may need a 64bit detection,
if we use the 32bit installer.

I'll remove UserChoice from HKLM
and add a test for the update that 
uses it - before writing it to HKCU.

I'll finish this for XP SP3 admin mode soon.
Then I'll modify it for XP SP3 user mode.
Please use the previous version for testing!

That proves it.
[HKLM\Software\K-Meleon\Desktop]
Desktop is the backup for SetDefault.exe /u.
You should know it since you designed it.

I'm currently adding HKLM values to backup first,
and HKCU values are only used if no HKLM values exists.
Would it be better to return to previous 
user values on uninstall and only backup HKLM values
if no HKCU value exists?

If .URL isn't set, the HKLM value of .htm
decides which browser is associated.[/quote]
