Windows Mobile 6 Standard registry priveleges

[NewsBot]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to make certain changes to the registry under the HKLM\Comm directory and according to Microsoft these are considered "protected from normal applications" (see below).

 

However, under WM6 Professional, I have no problem making the changes I need to.* Its only on Smartphone WM6 Standard (considered two-tier protected?) that I can't.* I am using the Microsoft remote tools - Remote Registry Editor.* After trying to connect it says, "A connection could not be made because the device actively refused it" or something to that effect.* Any ideas?* Is the only way to get a certificate from the OEM?

 

Thanks in advance

Nick

 

 

From the page titled, Privileged APIs:

In Windows CE, the following registry root keys and their subkeys are protected from normal applications:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
  
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WDMDrivers
