Hello. 
 
I encounter the next problem: when I repair or uninstall almost every program (with Administrator account), it fails with an error like this: 
 
Error 1402.Could not open key: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE32\Software\Classes\CLSID\{3050F3D0-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B}\InprocServer32. 
Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. 
 
 
If I check the key in the registry with RegEdit, it says that I do not have enough privileges. The owner of a key seems to be lost, and to gain access to the key, I need to set the owner to Administrators group, then assign Read permission to this group. 
If I do that and redo the repair or uninstall procedure, it shows the same error with an other GUID. 
 
Because there are dozens of thousands of keys in the CLSID, I can't spend a month to set an owner and to assign appropriate permissions to all the keys one by one. So, the question is: how can I set both an owner and the permissions with some sort of a tool which will loop through all the keys?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.
