Doug,
There is an Admin Tool called Group Policy called Group Policy Management 
(depending on your version of Windows you may need to install it - it is part 
of the XP adminpak if you are worried about putting it on the server). In there 
you can go the Group Policy Modelling tab. Run the Wizard on that and you will 
be able to see what policies are being applied and from where.

That assumes that this is a Domain-based group policy. It may simply be done on 
the specific machine, in which case Run gpedit and you will get the interface 
to hunt through.

Nick

Neil,
Unfortunately I didn't, I inherited this, I came from a Unix world and I am 
still learning the windows stuff, we had a consultant set everything up, then 
he dropped off the face of the earth. I have learned a lot about AD and 
policies, but I am quite the novice compared to you all, which is why I ask for 
help. I prefer to look dumb and ask obvious questions, that just 'try it' and 
screw something up. One thing out friendly consultant did was create a group 
called "Many Rights" and then made everyone a member of it, well, "Many Rights" 
was just another name for Administrator, so everyone could do anything, what a 
flipping mess that was, he did it because there was a permissions issue and 
instead of figuring it out and fixing it, he just made "Many Rights", I finally 
figured out the issue and fixed it, and removed "Many Rights". So I know I have 
to change permissions on some Registry Keys, but have only a slight idea how, 
and I know I have to have permission as Administrator, but have no idea how to 
fix that. So any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Um, how did you disable it? ;-)

To get that message, there's a policy being applied. Wouldn't you, as the 
administrator, have created that policy (especially as it appears to affect the 
administrator, too)?

Neil

That message is policy based (registry editing has been disabled).

I tried REGINI.EXE and I get... "Error: Registry editing has been disabled by 
your administrator."
I am the administrator, how do I enable editing? Windows 2003 server.

Hi all,  how can change registry permission on a registry key in an automated 
way?
When executing a *.reg file, does it also modify permissions?
