Windows NT Registry Permissions Disappear

[craziscoth]

Quick question about NT registry permissions.

I need to add permissions to the HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\ComputerName registry key for a program I am running. I can do this either manually or programmatically. However, when I reboot the computer I lose my permissions to that registry key and don't understand why. This happens to a few other registry keys as well, but doesn't happen on a WinXP system.

Does anyone know why this is happening and/or how to fix it so I don't lose the permissions I set upon reboot?

Thanks.
