Change Registry Key Permissions

[Karine Rivet]

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!

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.

just do it the slow reliable way...your time can't possibly be that
restricted.....

Since you have create/ modify the reg. key yourself, just export the particular key and its subkey if need using regedit. Just remember to name it to something easy for "everyone" to understand. Now you can double click on the file itself. Remember to test it first and/ or verify the correct setting or the permission is set correctly before roll out.
