permissions

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

I installed a program on my laptop running w2k, the installation was
done as an Admin, when the user "not Admin" opens the application, it
wants to update some key in the registry. how can I give the user the
right for this particular key only and not all the keys.

thanks

Use Regedt32.exe and set desired Security Permission on the key in question.

You can set up failure auditing on the local machine hive. Run regedt32.exe
then browse to HKLM, then
Edit|Permissions|Advanced|Auditing|Add|"everyone"|OK then check the "Failed"
box on Full Control, Set Value, Create Subkey, Enumerate Subkey, Delete,
Create Link


Then try again logged on as a normal user. Then check the Event log security
for errors.
