    regkey problem with forward-whack

    I'm trying to use the regkey provider to sync the Cryptographic Algorithms and Protocols (Cipher Suites) for a hardened web server.  I'm following http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245030

    It sync/dumps the following key fine:

    "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\NULL"

    It fails to sync/dump the following, or any other node with a forward-whack in it. 

    "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\RC4 56/128".

    It claims that  "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Ciphers\RC4 56\128" is invalid.

    Please note, it switches the forward-whack to a back-whack.

    Is there a way to specify the forward-whack to remain as a forward-whack and not be switched?
