When you use a script to change registry permissions, you replace the entire set
of current permissions defined in a registry key. For example, if you have four
types of users whose permissions are defined in a particular registry key, and
you create and run a script file that changes the permissions for only three of
the four types of users, the information about the fourth type is deleted.
You use the Resource Kit utility regini . Create a
script file with the lines of the form:
\Registry\Machine\Software [1 5 8]
that is registry key followed by groups with permission. To
apply the permissions, run
REGINI [-m \\computername] scriptname
where -m \\computername is used for remote execution
(assuming you have admin rights.
Whats that [1 5 8] stuff?
1 is Administrator Full Control
5 is Creator Full Control
8 is World
