Hello Tim,

I have been trying to disable Javascript using my Add-on toolbar for which I have to access Registry,..

I got this error on Windows 7 but not on Windows XP:

See the end of this message for details on invoking

Hi Pratibha,

Please make sure that the issue can be solved by turning Protected Mode off. If it can, then you need to use the ProtectedModeApi class to get a writable registry branch: 

AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEProtectedModeAPI protectedMode = new AddinExpress.IE.ADXIEProtectedModeAPI();
string anHKCUKey = protectedMode.GetWriteableHKCU();
