Registery key access for a standard user

S

I am having trouble getting an application to work on on a Win2K machine
recently joined to a Win2003 server-based domain.

Tech support for the application (pasted below) indicates that the user
needds full control of a specific registery key. Experimentation shows that
he can update keys HKEY_CURRENT_USER but not under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

Is there a way to grant a user access to just a specific registery key?

Thanks.

Steve

a.. Full Control for the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Broderbund Software\Print

i know you can use regedt32.exe to set permissions on certain regkeys
open 'Run' type regedt32.exe then Enter.
I can't really advise you what to do though, don't want the blame of making
an ass of you PC :)

I tested the default authority using regedit.

I do not plan on updating the registry manually. The tech notes for the
application indicate that the application will be touching the specified
keys. The application will, however, be running as that underprivilidged
user.
