"Requested Registry Access is not allowed" Error when creating a new project in Visual Studio.NET in Vista

-
Problem:

Trying to create a new project - any project - using VS2008 running on Vista gets this error:
"Requested Registry Access is not allowed."

Reason:

The proper permissions are not set by Visual Studio.

Solution:

Step 1: Download subinacl.msi from the link
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23418 and install it.

Step 2: Browse to C:/Program Files/Windows Resource Kits/Tools/ and create a file called vsfix.cmd

Step 3: Open the file you created, and inside copy-paste this code block and then save it:

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.vbproj.9.0 /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.vbproj.9.0 /grant=users=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.vbproj.9.0 /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.csproj.9.0 /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.csproj.9.0 /grant=users=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio.csproj.9.0 /grant=system=f

Step 4: Right click on this file and click Run as administrator

This should fix the problem.

Chrome Problem Fixed: 100% CPU - "Shockwave Flash has crashed"

-
After months of trying to solve this problem I was able to find the cause. Shortly after running Chrome, it started to use 100% CPU (50% if you are using dual core, an 25% if quad core) constantly, and when I killed the process, Chrome was giving me the message "Shockwave Flash has crashed" to the point that I changed to FireFox.  If this is happening to you too, you can figure out how to solve it in the following article. http://www.ghacks.net/2012/09/16/fix-the-chrome-shockwave-flash-plugin-problem/

I found this document on project risks which contains exactly what I myself experienced being important risks of development projects. I am listing the items here.
