Re: Users Access to Registry

I have a small problem. I have a program that my users have to be able to use that requires r/w to the registry. I have already gone in and given all users r/w permissions for those keys. My problem is that when the program performs certain operations, it also requires the ability to create new keys temporarily in the registry and there I run into the problem. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them.

Thanks,

My first thought would be to replace that particular application with an equivalent product from another vendor (preferably a direct competitor of the maker of the crapware) that is properly designed and fully compatible with the OS. I really don't see any viable alternative, other than giving your users elevated permissions to the entire registry hive.
