I seem to have a registry protection problem...

I recently decided to scrap a server I had running in my house as a
primary domain controller. So I took all of my machines, including my
primary machine out to the domain and joined them to a workgroup. On
this primary machine I copied the profile of my domain user account to
a local account and have started using that. This local user is part
of the administrators group.

I seem to be having various problems with different applications that
all seem to point to a problem with writing to the registry since I
did this. Some applications just didn't work so I reinstalled them
This fixed some, not others. I tend to get errors like "could not
create defaulticon key", For example I simply cannot reinstall my
pocketmirror software for my palm pilot. It always fails trying to
write things to the registry. I have modified permissions to let
everybody write to as many keys as I could, to no avail 90% of my
stuff works, just a few don't.

Any suggestions?

Reset the entire registry permissions to defaults
