Take ownership of Registry key using vb2005

[YXQ]

Hello,
I need to programmatically take ownership of a registry-key as
current user using VB2005. To test this , i created a key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\TestKey and removed all accessrights from this
key using RegEdt32.

Now i tried to set the accessrights by my programm. Since i do not have
rights to this key, i cannot open the key to get a handle for modifying the
rights.

I use the code below to take ownership, but it will not work.
Could anyone tell how to modify it? Thank you very much.

////////////////////////////////////////////////
Dim user As Security.Principal.NTAccount = New
Security.Principal.NTAccount(Environment.UserDomai nName & "\" &
Environment.UserName)
Dim subKey As String = "test"
Dim rk As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(subKey,
RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree,
Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights.TakeOwnershi p)
Dim rs As Security.AccessControl.RegistrySecurity =
rk.GetAccessControl()
rs.SetOwner(user)
MessageBox.Show("done")

it is true.

99% of developers should -NEVER- touch the registry
