Help with registry permissions

[russ]

I'm a very noobie to VB.NET, just went through the Microsoft Intro
class.

I'm trying to write a simple app that connects to a remote PC and makes
a modification to hklm\software\microsoft\windows
nt\currentversion\winlogon

However, it always gets a "System.UnauthorizedAccessException" "Cannot
write to the registry key" error.

I've tried using RegistryPermissionAttribute and I must be doing
something wrong. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Russ,

Why are you trying when you are a newbie to things in security, which are
with the most difficult things

To do something on another computer, you need to have full trust on that.

However see this message in this newsgroup

I hope this helps,

Cor

Well i'm not a COMPLETE noobie, I've been developing in Winbatch for a
couple years. Registry editing in it is very easy. My script is very
similar to the one in that example you pasted. I can edit the registry
fine in Winbatch but in VB.NET I get that access exception error. How
do I do these "trusts"?
