Re: reg change denied

The registry cleaner of the update of jv16 Powertools 2009 wasn`t able to
delete some items after starting windows vista 32 in the safe mode and
starting jv16 as an administrator.This was the resolution.
Thank You.

I'm sure you could have made the change OK from your admin account, but this
can sometimes involve repeatedly taking ownership of a key, refreshing,
taking ownership of the subkeys, etc, and then changing permissions on
everything. I've found the permissions editor in regedit seems to be lacking
in some respects compared to the one in explorer.

Thanks, Jimmy.
Interesting that even tho I'm logged on with admin privileges, it still
required your suggestion to make the change.
Vista is definitely going to take some getting used to and I dread the day
we (meaning the I/S staff) have to start rolling it out to the users.

Hello,

I would try editing the registry key from a "system" regedit. It is
easier than having to modify security permissions on system settings and
then trying to remember what they were to begin with to change them back.

- Download psexec.exe from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
- Extract psexec.exe
- Open a command prompt "as administrator" (right-click, click run as
administrator)
- change to the location of psexec.exe
- Execute the following command

psexec -s -i regedit.exe

This will open a regedit running as system on your desktop, which should
have access rights to the registry.

I'm trying to get my Zen V+ mp3 player to work in Vista. According to
Creative's KB, I need to allow the Everyone group in (lm-sys-cur ctrl
set-usb) to have full permissions on the USB key. However, when I try
to make the change, Vista gives me an Access Denied error. I am running
under Administrator account.
