I think UAC is your problem. &nbsp;If you temporarily turn off User Account Control then you will be able to launch regedit.exe with full admin rights and edit the key. &nbsp;Or just shift right-click regedit.exe and Run As Administrator.<br />
I suspect UAC is not active in Safe Mode.<br />
<br />
Note also that some keys within CurrentControlSet require you to take ownership of them before you can do anything else to them.

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have a problem on a vsita home premium machine.<br />
<br />
If I boot in safe mode I can write to the following registry key.<br />
<br />
hkey_local_machine\system\<wbr />currentcon<wbr />trolset\se<wbr />rvices<br />
<br />
If I boot in normal mode, I get an error access is denied.<br />
<br />
I have looked for viruses, rootkits, using combofix and unhackme.<br />
<br />
Has anyone else had this problem??<br />
<br />
I have also tried to redo the permission on this key but to no avale. <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Windows OS

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
