Re: Registry ACL Modification

Steve,
Thanks for the article. It could prove to be useful. I must admit that I
am relatively new to the whole adding/modifying reg keys. The app I wrote
works perfectly when the user has access to the key I need
(HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\policies\explorer)

Can you help me by showing me what I need to do with the artice you showed me?

Thanks, :)
Capp
