Viper999 Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I need to modify hcu key and above as a power user in XP. For My situation the Power user does not have rights to modify these keys. I know I can add the user to the Administrators group and make my changes, but I dont want to do it that way as there are 80 desktops. Is there a utility that will allow you to modfy keys as a user who doesnt have rights or is there a way to use the system account to accomplish this change? Any help would be appreciated.

Afterdawn Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 What specific key do you mean? But if you don't have the permissions to change a key, then you could try to edit the permissions of the key, and thén make the changes. If that doesn't work, I don't believe you can do what you wantl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper999 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 The problem is that power user doesnt have the ability to modify hkcu key and I want to use privilages of a higher accout to make the modiification. I can always modify permissions on the registry , but how can I grant and then revoke permissions in an automated fashion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afterdawn Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Take a look at here:http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=237607It's about a command-line tool regini.exe, which is in Windows XP by default. With this tool you can change registry permissions from the command prompt. I don't know exactly how it works but you can look it up in the above-mentioned page.
