Windows XP Edit Registry Key Permissions from Command Line

[Mark Calvit]

I have searched and cannot find a utility that is
installed with Windows XP Professional that will edit
registry key permissions from a command line. I have
found Regini.exe but thought XP might have something
newer. Do you know of such a tool that comes with Windows
XP Professional?

Thanks

Hi

If you need to use something that comes with WinXP, you will need
to use Regini.exe.

It is also an updated version of Regini.exe is in the Win2k3 Server
Resource Kit (for Win2k/WinXP as well), and for documentation, see
rktools.chm in the RK.

Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&DisplayLang=en

(The kit will install on WinXP or later, or you can unpack it with
WinZip or similar)


A couple of other utilities that can edit registry key
permissions from a command line:


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

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b


Then 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
