setting permission for all the keys in hkey_classes_root in one go

[rinkups]

Hi,

Is there any way out to set permission for all the registry keys in
hkey_classes_root in one go. I'm finding it really hard to change them
one by one every time when sp2 installation says access denied.

Can anyone help me on this.

thanks,

Set it at the sub-tree or root key only then set the inheritance flag so
that permissions are propagated to all the child objects in the
sub-tree. That is the preferred way of setting permissions in the
registry, the registry will be read faster that way. In the registry
rather than applying the same permission at every key you should
generally use/rely on inheritance and only apply specific exceptions at
selected keys. You can reset the permissions on the root keys with
SubInACL.
