Does anyone know of an automated way to change registry key permissions? There is a particular registry key to which we need to
assign full control to all users and thus far we've just been manually making the permission change using regedt32.exe. This works
fine of course, but it would be much nicer to be able to double click a reg hack, etc. then to have to do it manually every time.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Karine,

This might help: For a stand-alone PC, the UI is the easiest option

Hi

You can put the Registry edits into Notepad and then 'save as' a .REG file.

No you can't Will. Regedit cannot import a .reg file by changing the ACLs
of the keys like that. As Ramesh said, Karine will need to use regini from
the resource kit.

Not discounting the regini solution, but do you have an
Active Directory environment ? If so, this is easily done
with a security template using the registry section.
