Is there a new version of Winexit (found one in the "Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools") but when I use on Vista or Windows 7 I get an error "Error encountered while creating registry section"

The WinExit screensaver causes this error when run under limited user accounts. There is a registry permission that needs to be assigned. See:

We are having the same problem. The registry permission solution listed above isn't working for our restricted users. Anyone have any additional information?
You're welcome, Thonke.

Hello. i'm trying to get this working on Windows 7 Home Premium and I cannot get it working. I tried setting the permissions in the registry, but for restricted users I am still getting the same error.
I was able to do this successfully in Windows XP but no luck in Windows 7. Any help?
You're welcome, Thonke.
