Searching for permissions in the Registry 1

[jomtones2]

I've been having trouble tracking down rogue permissions in WinXP - certain subfolders don't seem to be inheriting the permissions I set above them.

Does anyone know a way that I can search for particular permissions being active within a registry branch?

(eg. "hkey current user/blah/secure/" has NO write permissions but "hkey current user/blah/secure/rogue" has write permissions for 'everyone')

Currently I'm having to track them down manually which takes an age...

Subinacl.exe will detail permissions and allow their change for both folder, files and registry keys:

bcastner,

Thanks for the great KB article. I tried this secedit function in Windows XP Home and it states that it does not recognize secedit. Is there a similar function for XP Home? I'm having the same trouble as the original posting.
