Re: User inadvertently set the permissions for the entire HKCR hive to deny for the Everyone and Administrator group

| That seems to be the problem as I was just trying it out on a test computer

| the permissions. The link below explains HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT more and there is
| no single file for it. Sorry about the dead end on that one.

| Another possibility that I have not tried either is to look at using setacl
| which can change registry key permissions and do it from a remote computer.
| Offhand I don't know if it will work on HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. An upgrade/repair
| install might be something to consider and of course possibly service pack
| and definitely security updates would need to be redone. If the secedit
| command can be run then it may be worth while trying per KB313222 and the
| /areas regkeys switch could be used to reset only registry. --- Steve
