Full Control

[Guest Clayton]

I'm the only user of this computer running Vista 64-bit and was wonder if

there is a way to have control over the registry etc like I had with XP,

Vista is beginning to cause me all sorts of problems, problems just like

this

I ran

cd /d "%programfiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"

 

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f

/grant=system=f /grant=restricted=r /grant=YOURUSERNAME=f

/grant=restricted=r /setowner=administrators

subinacl /keyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f

/grant=restricted=r /grant=YOURUSERNAME=f /grant=restricted=r

/setowner=administrators

 

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f

/grant=system=f /grant=users=r /grant=everyone=r /setowner=administrators

subinacl /keyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f

/grant=users=r /grant=everyone=r /setowner=administrators

 

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f

/grant=system=f /grant=users=r /setowner=administrators

subinacl /keyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f

/grant=users=r /setowner=administrators

 

And had all sorts of problems afterwards

Re: Full Control

 

Don't do that. Vista is not XP.

 

You _can_ turn off UAC. Personally, I don't recommend it. I find it mildly

annoying the first week I build a new machine. Unnoticeable after that, and

I do a LOT of reconfiguring all the time because of the kind of work I do.

 

You think you're the only person on that machine, and the single best way to

make sure you stay that way is to not disable the protections built into the

OS.
