Only if the system admin uses the REGEDT32 utility to alter the desired key's security permissions manually for the desired user/process. Otherwise no. That's the whole point of the "Users" group - very limited access to alter any system settings. Such users generally shouldn't even be trying to change system settings anyway. That is why admins exist. > By default - this group cannot edit any branch but the HKEY_CURRENT_USER branch That is by design. > - and I really need to be able to bypass this security somehow...
