hi, i sent one of my program to a friend and my program uses the registry to
store values and such that my program needs but he cant run it because he
isnt allowed access to the registry....is there anyway i can change that
access so my program can read, write, delete, etc reg keys? thanks

The program is going to run as whoever is logged in. So if the program
doesn't have rights to the registry, that means your friend doesn't. Is your
friend an admin on that machine?
The other thing is, there are other, far easier ways to store program or
user specific information, othern then putting it in the registry. You can
store user specific files, for instance in the application data folder for
the user, which your app will always have access to, for instance.

No, your program cannot grant access to registry keys that the user does not
have access to. However, their should be certain keys that you can read and
write to. The easiest way is to use the GetSetting and SaveSetting method.
However, .net applications typically store configuration information in an
XML config file, such as app.config, which can be read with
System.Configur ation.Configura tionSettings.Ap pSettings.

The user should be able to get access to the current user settings of the
registry.
It would be a great hack if he cannot and still start someting else.
Did you place your information in
Registry.Curren tUser (software)
Hkey_current_us er.software
I hope this helps,

Hello,
Is there a way to change table permissions in VB Code? I can't seem to find

list of values that shouldn't be accidentally changed by the user, so I've

I always read about how you need to set certain file permissions (for
cgi files, for example), but it's never been clear to me *how* you do
this. I know you can run the line
chmod 755 scriptname.py
but *where* do you run this? Is this done on your personal system, or on
the server? What if you are using Windows? If it's done on the server,
how do you do it?
