With all previous versions of Windows, I keep my programs from being freely distributed by creating a mean looking dll in the system folder. The dll is created the first time the program runs (after installation) and creates a unique code for the computer the program is installed on. The users must then supply us with that code and we then supply them with a code that complements the code on the computer to unlock it. All of this information is hidden in the dll in the system folder. The computer reads this file every time it runs.
Vista will not let regular users edit dll files. Any suggestions on where I could locate this dll but still keep it in a some what out of the way place.
Thanks in advance for your help.
