registry key

Is there anyway i can add or modify the user access rights in registry.

Also how can i remove a registry key.

I want to do this modifications to Windows 2000 Pro systems.

Thanks in advance.

You can use REGEDT32.EXE to change permissions on any keys in the registry.

Using either REGEDIT or REGEDT32, you should be able to simply delete a key by selecting it then pressing [Del] on your keyboard, though some keys cannot be deleted at all.

Make sure you have multiple backups before modifying permissions or deleting keys.

You can use the Regini.exe tool to set the Registry permissions from command mode

The Regini.exe tool to be taken from the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit.
