Hello,
I am trying to write to the registry from my application, but when I do I get access denied. Of course, it works if i run the app as Administrator. However, with my applcation, it is not initiated by the user. It start automatically.
So, the question is, how do i read/write to my own registry key from the C++ app?
Thanks for any help.
Write to HKEY_CURRENT_USER

If your application starts automatically, could it be rewritten as a service? It would have system-level access to registry.
If it's really your key, you control its security. The reason you need Admin rights is probably because you created the key with a DACL that refuses access to "normal" users. The most common way this happens is by inheriting a DACL from a parent key.
is there a way to get my .exe file to execute with admin rights instead of me killing the LUA? When i altar the reg is promots the user which i dont want, i am only adding the file to kill the LUA to give the user full rights to execute my .exe file.
if i can just get it to exeute as admin is would save me editing the reg, i cant find my source for the .exe coded in delphi thats the problem to add anything and the .reg file needs to be ran with the .exe files on vista
any ideas
