take ownership of registry

[vinifera]

so whenever user has to change system protected registry key or entry

one has always rclick on that key(s) and do this ownership annoyance...

is there a way to do this via BAT file, but that it gives ownership for COMPLETE registry hives ?

i know this might be complicated since registry entries are actualy stored somewhere along $MFT$

so its not just something like taking ownership of single file, but did anyone ever tried this ?

If so you right click the key and choose permissions

i know this

my question was how to do it in 1 step do apply for ALL hives

so me/you/people dont have to do this for each key they stumble upon to be protected

Windows 7 locks some registry keys similar to Vista in that, at least in my experience, one cannot change the permission-especially legacy system entries; always get access denied no matter what. I even try to remove the system from ownership by deleting all child inherited-no success.
