Hi, This one makes me feel dumb :) : I can't set permissions for Creator/Owner = on registry keys, after applying full control, the box unchecks itself. Yes, I'm using an administrative account, I've removed inheritance copying = settings, the particular key is HKLM>Software>Intel but I have tested = others with the same result. Ideas on a postcard.
