Well, is there a possibility that the key could be written but not seen?

 

The following quote is from the "Microsoft Windows XP Registry Guide"

book which is all about the registry with sections on ACL. Maybe your

library can obtain it through inter-library loan. au: Jerry Honeycutt

 

"SAM. Contains Windows XP's local security database, the Security

Accounts Manager(SAM). Windows XP stores local users and groups in SAM.

This key's access control list(ACL) prevents even administrators from

viewing it. SAM is a link to the key HKLM\SECURITY\SAM.

 

SECURITY. Contains Windows XP's local security database in the subkey

SAM, as well as other security settings. This key's ACL prevents even

administrators from viewing it, unless they take ownership of it."

 

Security templates,
