How to automate this reg delete process

Thx - I am aware of this but was looking for this.

I guess the real question is

will this work without setting the permissions as I must do if I edit
it manually?


Right click on that and click on "Permissions". In permissions click
on the check mark called "Allow" to the right of "Full Control".

You can do this in two ways:
a) With a macro program, e.g. with AutoIt, or
b) Subinacl.exe

I do not recommend method a) as I consider it to be too
unreliable.

Method b) would work but requires a fair effort to get
it going. Unless you have a large number of machines to
be treated, the manual process would be faster.

AFAIK, reg.exe and regedit.exe cannot change permissions.

Hi Pegasus,

OT, but why do you consider option (a) too unreliable? AutoIt has been good
to me, and I would think that would work OK.

I have nothing against AutoIt per see but I would not use it in
this case for two reasons:
a) Editing the registry is a delicate matter. Doing it blindly with
pre-recorded keystrokes makes it a dangerous process.
b) AutoIt (and other macro programs) can be tripped up by
unexpected events, e.g. a virus scanner or an Automatic
Update dialog popping up all of a sudden. It happens even
to humans when they hack away at the keyboard without
watching the screen.

Pegasus,

Thank you. I appreciate your input.
