Microsoft Outlook email - HKCR and Shim

- - HKCR and Shim (http://www.outlookbanter.com/add-ins-outlook/5868-hkcr-shim.html)

I noticed the Shim uses HKCR in order to place the load behavior;
however if a non-admin users tries to register the shim they do not have
permissions to write to HKCR.
Any clues on how to get around this?

Well I may have solved it. In the registry file in the Shim I changed
from HKLM to HKCU, I thought I may have to change the HKCR, but it seems
that HKCR will write to HKCU first.
Contact me if you have any shim install issues, I may have some insight.

That has other drawbacks too. Now other users on the machine can't use the
software. I force admin install with more to avoid that.
