Registry ACLs

[Jose Cintron]

My appologies if this shows twice (I forgot to include a subject the first
time)

I'm looking for a way to obtain the ACL for a specific registry key. What I
need is something that works in a similar way to the following for file ACLs

Set wmiSecuritySettings = wmiServices.Get
("Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting.Path='" & fname & "'")
intRetVal =
wmiSecuritySettings.GetSecurityDescriptor(wmiSecurityDescriptor)

Any suggestions other than using the ADsSecurity.DLL (which is not shipped
with WinXP)? I cannot install any SW on the box where this will be running.

either

a) keep your data in a database and not the registry
or
b) dotnet is too verbose; your IDE is expecting more verbosity... I
would reccomend just adding a whole assload of more code in it and see
if it works then
