[Qt-interest] Registry Virtualization in Windows Vista and QSettings

[Anthony Serdyukov]

Good day.

I have met a little problem. Consider the following code.

QSettings setting(QSettings::SystemScope, "MyOrg", "MyApp");
qDebug() << settings.isWritable();

It always print true despite of whether it is run by an elevated user
or not. I guess the cause is Registry Virtualization
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb530198.aspx).

Does anybody know, is there any way to truly detect write access
possibility? Or perhaps detect whether current process is run in an
elevated mode?

Regards,
Anthony
