I'd certainly agree that a registry hack is not the way forward. Unfortunately though where I work an auditors word is always taken ahead of mine! Interesting point tho whether the registry would be overwritten if a service pack were to be applied - I'll test that out and get back.
Maybe Ken's idea of archiving the error logs would work for you and the auditors.
Also you could use the Default Trace or a server-side trace set to start at startup to do the auditing necessary and archive that data as well.
