Registry Writing Problem

[aditya.shevade]

Hi

I have a question. When I log on to a PC with a limited user account and try to insert string values, I can do that. Whenever I try to insert a new key or DWORD or the other keys, a message is displayed saying "Error Writing to the Registry". Is there any way to enable the writing in the registry, if you don't have the admin status.

Where are you Mr. Vishal? What happened?

U hv to set the permissions for the keys in regedit!

Login as administrator and open regedit and right-click on the key (on which u want to give permissions) and select "Permissions" and here u can give permissions to the user

What if I am not the administrator? Can I do this in any other way?

[Vishal Gupta]

I don't think its possible if the administrator has disabled these rights.

u may try 3rd party registry editor, may be those s/w allow u to create ur desired keys?

You need admin access to edi registry, otherwise what would be the use if any user can access the registry, security of any system would go down the drain.
