OK, let me ask an interesting question. I can create and delete files in
that
folder. I can also add entries in all the places in the Windows registry
that
(a) I can see and (b) seem to be relevant to the printer driver.
But each key in the registry has permissions, including read permissions.
Suppose that by some obscure accident the Administrators group was denied
permission to read certain keys, and suppose those keys were important for
printer installation. How would I know that I didn't have permission to
see
those keys? How could I get permission to read and write keys that I don't
even know exist?
And where are those registry permissions kept, anyway?
