I've encountered an odd problem. The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT section of the
registry has no permissions assigned to it. Here is what properties
reports:
No permissions have been assigned for this object.
Warning: this is a potential security risk because anyone who can access
this object can take ownership of it. The object's owner should assign
permissions as soon as possible.
I discovered this when a program that needs to write registry entries to
this section wouldn't install. I've tried adding ADMINISTRATOR and
ADMINISTRATORS permissions but, when I do, other sections of the registry
get corrupted, I lose a number of services, and have to use system restore
to get the computer up and running again.
Anyone have any idea how this happened and what I can do to correct it?
This is OEM Vista Business and a re-install will require starting from
scratch, removing the crapware, downloading and installing all updates and
then re-installing all of the software that I use (which is extensive). I
really don't want to do that.
