I just downloaded BartPE and tried to build the CD, but it gives me 
errors.  Its trying to open its own registry keys (i.e the PEBuilder 
keys themselves) and I get "Access is denied".  I'm administrator on 
this PC so I'm not sure why that is.  Looks like this may not be an 
option for me. 

Thanks for the tip though.
Harry
