Re: How can I disable the use of regedit and regedt32?

Yeah on the surface that looks like it should be helpful. But if you look
closely at that solution, there is no name for the registry entry that is to
be used there. In fact the key (System) does not exist in Windows 2000 and
REG_DWORD is a DataType not a REG_NAME. So there is really nothing I can do
with that. The link to the Group Policy Table is dead. And the Group Policy
Entry they say I can follow under User Configuration I have is Not
Configured. So it look's like that's a bum path, Maybe something like this
might work?

I would be willing to just delete the entire Policy key as I see it is
virtually empty but I forget how that is done in a .reg file. Do you recall
John? -[] I think?

How about a a windows script that would assign all permissions of one user
to another user? I could take all the permissions of one of my admin
accounts and assign them to my Administrator account. That should do it?
