Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I've just installed NVDA onto a machine in a corporate environment - the account that I'm using has full local admin rights to my workstation. I've successfully enabled the option to start NVDA at the Windows logon screen, but when attempting to instruct the Settings GUI to start NVDA after my current account logs into Windows, the following is generated in my log file:

ERROR - unhandled exception (09:49:31.398):
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gui\settingsDialogs.pyc", line 602, in onOk
  File "gui\settingsDialogs.pyc", line 596, in doSave
  File "gui\settingsDialogs.pyc", line 782, in onSave
  File "config_init
.pyc", line 197, in setStartAfterLogon
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied

Describe the solution you'd like

From taking a look at the above log fragment, it appears that Windows isn't allowing NVDA to make the required changes to allow it to start after login - however, it's not clear as to which part of the process is failing to complete. Would it be possible to add more verbose logging to this part of the process to allow further diagnosis? I should point out that this log fragment was taken from an older snapshot, but attempting to do the same when running 2019.2.1 results in the same error.

Describe alternatives you've considered
