Protecting Registry Keys and Redirected Folders Folders.

[NJC©T]

Hello Newsgroup,

Specs:
Windows XP SP3 Professional
C:\ - System + Applications Disc.
D:\ - Users + Data Disc.

Is it possible to protect the registry keys, more precisely data for values
to the keys;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders\Recent
D:\Users\[UserName]\Recent

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders\Recent
D:\Users\[UserName]\Recent

Which references the "My Recent Documents" Folder to the D:\ disc for a
specific user mentioned above. Is it possible to "lock" these registry
keys, values, data as after I run CCleaner the registry key;

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders\Recent
Is deleted,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders\Recent
Changes to,
C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Recent

The folder, D:\Users\[UserName]\Recent, is deleted and C:\Documents and
Settings\[UserName]\Recent, is created.

When I run CCleaner (latest version always), I do **not** run the Registry
Clean Tool, only the disc cleaning tool. I really like the cleaning utility
(CCleaner), is it possible to have the best of both worlds in this
situation.

Many thanks and regards,
- NJC©T

You can set any permission to your registry keys, same as you can set file
permissions. Just right-click the key in question, then click Permission,
then give the users read-only access.

Just disable "Recent Documents" inside CCleaner under
the "Windows Explorer" section.
