Description Max Rydahl Andersen CLA 2007-10-23 03:17:12 EDT 
Build ID: europa 3.3.1

Steps To Reproduce:
Every startup org.mozilla.xpcom.Mozilla creates a temp. file and calls "regedit".

Under vista this action shows a "security warning dialog".

The faulty method is Mozilla.getGREPathFromRegKey.

Why is this bug under ATF? There is already a Mozilla bug open for this problem and ATF can't fixed this problem. The only eclipse team that could potentially fix this problem would be the SWT team by added some special code to read the registry.
