I want to access/modify the registry hive of another user from an Administrator's account, I know the username and password of this user
I've searched msdn and I found that I can use LogonUser() then ImpersonateLoggedOnUser() then RegOpenCurrentUser(), I did and everything went fine
but On calling RegOpenCurrentUser(), I Get ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, How can I solve this?
Here's the code :
HANDLE token; // the logged on user token.
BOOL b;
b = LogonUser("Test", ".", "test", LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &token);
b = ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(token);
HKEY baseKey;
HKEY subKey;
LONG l = RegOpenCurrentUser(KEY_ALL_ACCESS, &baseKey); // ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
thanks much
