Importing HKLM entry without admin rights
Anyone know if it is possible to import registry keys into HKLM as a user or power user? Typically only administrators can write to HKLM whereas users and power users can read/write to HKCU.
no that's not possible. What's the reason for this? Maybe there's a workarodun possible.

Need to be able to have a standard user reset kill bit (importing a registry entry) when necessary if automatic updates are enabled. The only other solution I can think of is to disable automatic updates altogether, but this poses a security threat.
must this happen one time only?
If so then i would handle this via polcies, else i would create a application which has the permissons in it

Wow, I can't believe I missed that. You get to dealing with folders/files and forget that you can do pretty much the same thing with the registry. SubInACL may give same results in the end but being command line driven, it's a more vigorous approach. Giving modify rights to the particularly affected subkey did the trick. Thanks.

Glad it worked....
