What registry location applies to “All Users”, and is read/write?

by xenmachine . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I need to store a read/write string in the registry. First I tried putting it in HKLM, because I figured it would be available to any user that logged on. It’s there, but they can’t write it. Then I read some more about the registry, and decided that HKCU is a better place, but I get the same “access denied” when I try to write to it.

Where am I supposed to put this thing?

Possibility (I haven’t tried it yet):

1. Write the string as Admin into HKLM
2. Read as normal user from HKLM
3. Write as normal user to HKU

— would that work?

TIA
