Here is how we manually
assign the permissions to a registry key:
To assign permissions to a registry key
-
Open Registry Editor. Click the key to which you want to assign permissions.
-
On the Edit menu, click Permissions.
-
Assign an access level to the selected key as follows:
-
To grant the user permission to read the key contents, but not save
any changes made to the file, under Permissions for name, for Read,
select the Allow check box. -
To grant the user permission to open, edit, and take ownership of the
selected key, under Permissions for name, for Full Control, select
the Allow check box. -
To grant the user special permission in the selected key, click
Advanced.
So my question is, would it be possible to do it programmatically? Say, if I want to grant Users full control permission on a particular subkey, how should I write the code in C#? Thanks very much.
