Using Regini.exe for setting registry key permissions for custom users

Hi All,
I looked at the documentation of regini.exe and it seems it can be
used to set registry key permissions only for builtin Windows groups(
Admins, System, . How can I use it for setting registry key
permissions for custom users groups that I've created on my Windows
box? Any better solutions than using regini.exe( of course I need it
thru command line )?

TIA

Hi

There is a free 3rd party utility that you can use for this:

SETACL (freeware) at
http://setacl.sourceforge.net/

SetACL can set permissions on:

Local or remote directories
Local or remote files
Local or remote printers
Local or remote registry keys
Local or remote Win32 services
Local or remote network shares


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

I am using regini to change permission to HKLM\Software\App1. When I execute
the command it works. However, the subkeys underneath App1 do not change even
though I have them set to inherit to the parent. If I do it through the
RegEdit Gui it work fine. Is this a bug with regini? or perhaps I have the
wrong version? Thanks.
