    Hello,

    I'm doing a paper on remotely accessing the registry (which was number 9
    last year in the top 20 vulnerabilities). What I would like to know is
    does anyone know of a good page that tells of the problems for someone
    remotely accessing the registry of a windows computer? Or how easily it
    can be done and how it was discovered. (it's for Win9x, CE, NT, 2000,
    ME and XP)

    I found some articles on the old deja archive and dated it back to
    1996/1997 with the problem. However, I'm trying to describe the problem
    and don't think I have a complete feel for it. :(

    Any resources would be appreciated.

    Thanks. :)
    Chris.
