I want my program to write one data element to the Registry upon closing the program. Is Vista likely to scream "bloody murder" when I try to do that? Or can it be done quietly, without the knowledge of the user?

No problems if you are writing to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software (As opposed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). Make sure that you only request as many privileges as you need in the TRegistry constructor.
