Registry key(s) for folder privleges?

S

Steve Nielsen

We use an A/V product that can automatically update, however we have a
lot of lab machines where the Windows login used is a Limited account. I
can go into the Folder properties and adjust permissions to allow the
updates when logged in as a limited user but if there's a way to do this
through registry keys in a .reg file and merge them into the registry it
would make it a lot easier to apply to several machines.

Hi

Command line tools to change registry permissions (Win2k and up):

Regini.exe or SetACL.exe is an option:

SubInACL.exe can also be used for this, a new, bug-fixed version of
SubInACL.exe is available for download here (Win2k/WinXP/Win2k3):

Thanks for the reply, but what I really mean is I want to know where, if
at all, in the registry permissions can be set for Limited user to have
write and modify to specific folders.

Hi

This can not be done through registry edits.

You can e.g. use cacls.exe in a batch file to change the
permissions.

Thank you Torgeir. That answers my question. I'll look into the other
suggestion you offered.

On an NTFS drive these are part of the NTFS structures, and not in the
registry at all
