| Aug 2, 2015 at 17:01 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | "Although we could handle the error" - why don't you handle it then? That's much better than blindly changing the registry of millions of PCs. If MS thought the correct thing to do was to make that change they would have done it already. | |
| Aug 2, 2015 at 16:56 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | That's exactly what alpha and beta tests are for. Do those before a mass rollout. And be prepared to fix and issues. Save the registry before you install your program and be prepared to back out the change if your users complain. | |
| Jul 3, 2015 at 20:45 | comment | added | DaaBoss | This registry change would be made to anyone that installs our software, which possibly could affect many millions of users. It appears I'll just make this change, since no one seems care about this issue. I see very few questions from any software or hardware companies, who usually make unilateral decisions, and then wonder why users are complaining. I'm asking for advice first, rather than assuming I know what's best. I really wish other OEMs would validate some of their decisions here before deploying them. @fixer1234, I also replied and clarified in the question's comments. | |
| Jul 3, 2015 at 18:52 | comment | added | fixer1234 | I left some questions in a comment on the question, but I'm having trouble making sense of the question. It almost looks like you're asking about a change to the registry on your PC affecting other people. If that's the case, it only affects your computer. | |

Changed the title to my original question, which may clarify the real question
