Hi all,

I am trying to make certain changes to the registry under the HKLM\Comm directory and according to Microsoft these are considered "protected from normal applications" (see below).

However, under WM6 Professional, I have no problem making the changes I need to.* Its only on Smartphone WM6 Standard (considered two-tier protected?) that I can't.* I am using the Microsoft remote tools - Remote Registry Editor.* After trying to connect it says, "A connection could not be made because the device actively refused it" or something to that effect.* Any ideas?* Is the only way to get a certificate from the OEM?

Thanks in advance
Nick


From the page titled, Privileged APIs:

In Windows CE, the following registry root keys and their subkeys are protected from normal applications:
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\WDMDrivers
