MS is clearly steering away from this "store settings in the registry" thing. It's simply a bad programming habit.
Most notable is the built in setting object in .NET applications created with Visual Studio. It allows you to add application and user settings with a few clicks. These settings are then stored in XML files with your app or in your documents and settings folder.
UAC is whining for a good reason, the problem though is the tonnes of legacy applications that still abuse the registry for storing settings.
