It is with great fear that I suggest to the SS developers that on certain occasions (updated ielua, etc.) that they need to go use regedt32 to update their own registry. As a matter of fact, I think I have never had them do it, requiring me to go do it myself at their desks. I would be far more likely to suggest that they make their own changes if there were a control-panel-like interface that changed the registry behind the scenes. This would also serve as an excellent online documentation source and error-preventor, since there would be restrictions on what values could be selected and placed into the registry. Certain companies (like mine) lock down the end-user desktops, making it impossible for them to do things like direct registry updates, and this would alleviate that situation as well. This would also self-document new or revised registry keys and/or values.

Would an upgraded notebook-style console settings page satisfy this requirement-- if ALL registry settings were always available and documented?

absolutely, and probably better, since it's all centralized. It would be another consideration when looking at (someday?) granularized security, this would probably merit a category of its own, do you think?
