It's not simply a matter of changing and publishing the registry. If you
make changes to the local registry, it skews the sync details and at worst
everything is resynced. Changes to the registry must be made through the
Serve API (the 'send-server command) and of course individual fileset rights
apply.

That's the ability to create new filesets, including those of desktop
folders.

I think that's how it is at this stage.
