I have a .reg file I would like to apply to a test server I have
administrative rights over. However, I receive a message saying it could
not access the registry. I have found out that permissions have to be set
up correctly in regedt32. I cannot get the permissions I set at the top of
a key to flow through all its subkeys. When I goto "reset permissions on
all child objects and enable propagation of inheritable permissions", I get
a message saying, "registry editor could not set security in the key
currently selected, or some of its subkeys". Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't be necessary. You'll likely need this now.
