Sounds like you need to read up on NT security in general before you start messing with it. As for specifying a NULL DACL, use RegGetKeySecurity() to retreive the current SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR for the desired key, then call SetSecurityDescriptorDacl() to set the DACL to NULL, and then call RegSetKeySecurity() to assign the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR back to the key. > I changed in 'aclapi.h' <snip> Do not alter header files, especially Microsoft's. As previously stated, you need to use RegSetKeySecurity() instead of SetSecurityInfo() anyway. In which case, aclapi.h is no longer needed for this situation to begin with. Gambit
