Locking a registry key

I want to lock a registry key for windows live mail. Its just the ke
that stores the location on the screen of the spooler or 'downloader' o
what ever its called (the loading bar that pops up when you clic
send/receive

Is there a way to lock the following registry key so that it cant b
modified? Perhaps using 'permissions'

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\SpoolerDlgPo

Pirating MS Vista is a crime & a waste of 97 hours looking for a crac
that doesnt virus your pc!

What is your reasoning behind this

right click the item (is the left pane). Select 'Permissions' to see who can
do what.

WARNING you can really screw up your system if you make an error on changing
permissions! Sometimes you have to go up one level to change permissions as
they are locked to their parent.
