You probably have found this, since you are on the hunt, but do see if you can disect and use, if not...; first link especially.

Also, please use at your own risk, a colleague gave this to disect, not use if all links work:-) Besides would not want you to fire it up and get into trouble at work or else:

Java is not the best language to use for programs that meddle with the registry.

Just a remark: the Preferences class is not the way to go. You definitely
need a bunch of JNI functions.

kind regards,
