Re: cacls.exe to change registry permission

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

programmatically and someone had mentioned cacls.exe to me but I'm not
seeing how it can edit a registry key permission. I was hoping if someone
knew how to do that they could help me with it.
