Re: Regedit Permissions

If you have not tried yet go to HKLM/software/application name and give the
users full control permissions to that key or the same that power users have
also looking in the advanced page where you would highlight power users and
select edit. Double check each child registry key below it when done to make
sure that change in permissions has propagated to them also. Reboot the
computer for good measure and see if that makes a difference. If that does
not help look under HKLM/software/classes for keys that have the application
name and do the same for permissions found there. Worse case scenario is
that you can create a new security template copying only the registry
permissions [highlight registry and select copy and then paste into same in
new blank security template, then save template] from the compatws.inf
security template to a new security template and then importing that
security template into the computer via Local Security Policy by
highlighting security settings, right clicking and select import. You can
use the mmc snapin for security templates to view, manage, and create
security templates. Doing such would give the user the same permissions as
the power user to the registry without changing any folder/file permissions
or adding the user to the power users group. --- Steve

I have a third party software called Polar. I am installing this
application
with the user having power user rights to the desktop. Once I place the
user
back into the User Group - removing them from the power user group, and
log
back on to the workstation the Polar pops a Failed to update system
registery
error window. If I click on OK the application lets me in. What rights
are
required to write to the registry? - power user at the least? The
providers
of the software gave me some registry keys to give the user more rights
but
their suggestion does not help....can any else ????

Thanks in advance

Cindy
