Hi all,

I am using "RegCreateKeyEx" for opening the registry key with security descriptors.
I am using KEY_READ | KEY_WRITE | WRITE_DAC access rights with "RegCreateKeyEx". I also set SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES with KEY_ALL_ACCESS attribute. Still I am getting error number 5(access denied) while opening the registry key. When I saw manually right clicking on that key, under permission I find only special permission is set. Full control and read check boxes are not set. But I had given KEY_ALL_ACCESS in the SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES.

Can anybody please tell me how do I resolve this problem ?

Regards
Prashanth
