I have multiple pcs that I have to go into and change the security permissions on a particular key in the registry.

I want to automate this. Any suggestions. I need to add our domain users Full Control to a particular key.

I can manually do it with regedt32.exe

if you are using logon scripts, add this line to the script

@ regedit.exe /s \\server\netlogon\proxy.reg

where server is the domain controller, and where a reg file is available.

You will obviously need to set up the registry edit file, which starts something like this (i use this to set a proxy account in ie because access is restricted to the internet options for mostof my users)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"User Agent"="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Win32)"

I can send you a .reg file to amend if you wish
