Registry Permissions

[Greg Swensson]

How can I change permissions on a single registry key
using a script or batch file? I need to ad write
permissions to the local machine user. Any help would be
great, I'm running out of time to resolve this issue.

Hi

From a script:

Regini.exe (comes builtin with WinXP) or SetACL.exe (freeware) 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):

Using the IADsSecurityUtility object (comes builtin with WinXP)
is also an option:

Thanks for the info. I had found the SetACL.exe but
hadn't even thought of looking for Regini.
