Permissions on registry keys can be set without manual user intervention via
the UI. For example, there are Windows API functions that allow setting key
ACLs. As with the manual approach, such changes must be made by an account
with sufficient permissions to modify the ACL on the key.
That said, the highly restrictive ACLs on subkeys of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System Provider key
are there for very good reason, and loosening the permissions on such keys
is generally not a particularly good idea...

Hello all!
I have problem with reading data from registry. I work on the one machine.
My operation
system is Windows XP SP2.
I read data from registry with help OpenSubKey and SecurityException
appeares for
key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Protected Storage System
provider\S-1-5-21-2025815041-1961764723-2087665911-3808. I saw
permissions
in this key - permissions for SYSTEM exist only. How I can read this key
without changing permissions manually?
Help me please if anybody can!
Thank You.
Dmitriy.
