[RESOLVED] Can't Read Timezones From Registry Unless Admin

[Hassan Basri]

Hello,

I have a VB6 program that lists the available timezones and populates a combobox. Similar to the timezone combobox in the "Date and Time Properties" of windows.

This is working fine in all versions of windows. I came upon a situation where my combobox was not being populated. After some investigation I found that the program didn't have access to this path in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones

When I run the program as an admin the combobox gets populated correctly. If I run as the regular user the combobox doesn't get populated. My program writes and reads to its own folder in the regsitry without issue. However unless I am admin on this particular machine I can't read this path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones

Any ideas anybody? Thanks.
