I don't think I can do what I wanted initially, setting a registry keys
permissions via code and grant user permission. So, can anyone tell me, is
there a place in the registry where people logged in as a limited user can
read and write to with out any need to alter the key's security or elevate
the users privilages?
 
Cor,

I thnk at least half the problem is my lack of understanding the registry.
Can you point me to a good link that explains it a bit more?
 
Hello Austin,

*sigh* This is one of the worst sins a programmer can commit.. Trying to
use something they don't understand. Why are you trying to manipulate the
registry if you dont understand it? That makes absolutely no sense. That's
like me saying, huh, I'm going to rollerblade to work because I heard contraptions
with wheels convey people faster. Research will make you competent. Guessing
will make you a laughingstock, or worse, unemployed.

Yeah, your right, I should learn every friggin thing without ever writing a
line of code.

As indicated, I've used it extensively with VB, however there are a TON of
new issues when doing it in .NET. Again, I suppose I should try to learn it
all without writing a line of code according to you?

That makes absolutely no sense.

Maybe to you it doesn't and I invite you to ignore my posts in the future.

Yes, hence my use of the news groups to put me on the right track. Of
course if that bothers you see my invitation above.

Not when I own the company, count on it. <g>
 
Austin,

Did you look at that link about the Registry Class that I have showed showed
somewhere in a reply to you , beside that it shows things about the registry
does it as well show how easy the Registry is to handle in Net. You can
reach the real registry without an API, while in VB classic you could than
only use a kind of special main key of the registry, that is probably why
you never have looked at it.

you can do that, just its in .NET 2.0 where you can, .NET 1.1 doesnt support
changing registry permissions... but my question is why arnt you wiriting
registry stuff to current user? which is the only think a limited user
really has write access to
