Hi,

I have an application that uses a lot of VBA. I put it in a protected password add in. But I am also worried of people moving to other companies and taking the program.

In the past I used a trick to put a couple of files in different folders and the program will verify the existence of those files before running.

The problem is that now with the new Windows versions, I cannot access automatically those folders (for instance c:\windows\system\) to create the files with the installation program (another VBA file to which only I have access). this is quite annoying and ogetn I have to create the file manually, which is a bit pointless if the user is just standing behind you...

Any suggestion to a similar procedure? a file, a windoes registry entry... .... anything that I can create, access, and delete from an Excel VBA application in any PC.

thanks.
