Setting Permissions For Registry For EWF

[BillW50]

I am trying to import a ewf.reg file to enable Microsoft's EWF. This is
easy to do under Windows XP, but I can't figure out how to do it under
Windows 2000. As the options to change permissions are grayed out. And I
am running as the Administrator. With Google I found one post where
someone stated EWF works on both Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000. I
assume it must be Windows 2000 SP4, as they didn't say. Here is the
directions to import the reg file for XP.

Edit registry using REGEDT32.EXE
Allow "Full Control" for "Everybody" to
HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumRoot
Merge ewf.reg into Windows Registry (double click on it)
Reverse permission

Many thanks!

Usually that is because it (the key or value) is inheriting permissions
from a parent key... or someone removed all permissions other than the
System account. You can pass (inherit) the permission down from the
parent key or you can use the SubInACL utility to change the permissions.
