Modifying a registry key we could 'write-protect' our USBs, and I wanted to make a program that would do such but I am getting a permission problem in adding a registry key to the local machine. My development machine is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit but I would want it that it will be able to run on other OS like XP and 32 bits. My thought is that I will use autorun and run my program so that upon insertion it will become 'write-protected' and be able to re-enable it also using the program.

I'm quite new to vb.net and I was trying to develope something that can activate/deactivate the Optical reader at startup, so I wrote:
[Code]...
but obviously it's not that simple, I read I need registry permission not to have access denied to the specified key, I imported the system.security.permission namespace and I tried some constructors but without any results...anyone can point me to the right procedure?
my program read and writes into registry and has been working fine, until today when i tested it on a new server i got this error request for the permission of type system.security.permissions. registryPermissions, mscorlib,version=2.0.0.0. i checked the registry permission and made sure all allows are ticked.
I would like to create a program that will query all security permission to a given registry path. I attached the image so you have overview. I'm new to VB.Net 1/10 to rate my skill here. This will all the output I will put the output in a listbox or list view.
I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS

I've had a bit of a look around the net and on the forums but I've yet to find an answer to my question. I've got Visual Basic 2008 Express and I'm trying to write some registry entries, I can write strings fine just using
Currently, I am try to get the email addresses that have been saved or stored by the user of the computer. This isn't the emails that the user has sent or received, or the contacts he/she has in his address book. Just simply the email accounts that have been accessed from the computer.I know that there are some locations stored in the registry that have the email account. The email addresses that are used on the current computer. I just can't seem to find them on my computer.I am not sure if the registry is the only place to find it or if it stored on the web browser such as internet explorer or google chrome.
I am writing an application that connects to a specific com port. This com port can change depending on how many physical ports are on the PC, and if other USB devices have installed com ports before this one.
I have the communication to the com port all working great, but I need to get the com port description not just the "COM#" which is all I currently get.
I found in the registry where the description is stored but am having trouble doing what I need.
there is a varied number of sub keys. The are numbered 0000-NNNN depending on how many ports you have. Inside each of these keys, there are multiple values, although I am only interested in one or 2 of them.
My problem is, that I do not know how to get a list of the subkeys (the 0000-NNNN keys/folders) from the original key I posted. I have looked through a few registry tutorials, and I can view the default value in the listed key, but I could not find how to list the subkeys of the listed key.
Does anyone have any sample code they could share that shows how I can get a listing of subkeys, and then run through those subkeys checking for a specific value in one of the strings contained in the subkey?
I have several programs that must write to HKLM in XP and Windows 7/64 Pro.The programs work in VB6 but not in VB.Net 2008 on target machines. It does works on our development machine. [code]I just cannot figure out why VB6 works but .net doesn't and fails only on the target machine not the development machine.
I want to get every single registry Name and value, which lies in HKEY_CURRENT_USER....Run(for getting and THEN deleting them to prevent run those programs at windows start). This is just for getting names.

Does anyone know how to use the registry section in Inno Setup to add a registry key that make a program start with windows when a Checkbox is checked in the setup wizard? If anyone know please step forward. I am getting near the launch of a program and it would be nice to include this feature.
In my web application we have many users. I want to set permission for each user. In our windows application we used Database to store the Permission(Insert,Modify,delete and View). In web application can anybody tell me about where to store the permission. Somebody told that if we use database it will take so much time? In the case of XML it is easy and not taking much time. But if the client set permission for number of users,then it will create problem?.
(Permission means in case of "Category" page which user can view the Category page,which user can edit information about category,which user can delete information of category,which user can add new category)
Public Sub Share() Dim managementClass As New ManagementClass("Win32_Share") Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")
I was thinking of a function that returns boolean and using remove at.. but maybe removing all and only adding the ones have permission too? [code]But I have 15 pages and want to loop through these.
I am using Caspol.exe to install a custom Permission set and add Code Groups for my .Net 2.0 Windows Application.
I have created a Console Application that uses caspol.exe to add Permission Set and Code Groups. I first install the Permission Set and if I do not get an error, I continue to install the Code Groups
Now sometimes I need to add a new Code Group to the client machine, so I make the changes to the console app and it is executed on the client machine. If the client machine already has the Permission Set installed, it returns an error and stops the further processing.
So, I want to know if I can check whether a custom Permission Set is already added or not?
VB.NET application which allows user to split a file in smaller files. However the stand alone executable of the application,had a permission problem using filestream to read a file without an OutOfMemory exception, while selecting to split locatein certain directories like "C:".To solve the problem i checked My Project window and the "Security" tab, and i tried checking the checkbox: "Enable ClickOnce Security Setting" and selecting "fulltrust application". This added to my app.manifest these lines of code:
I'm writing an application in which a user can add, change and delete members from a list of members, and the adding and changing is done in a dialog box with some input fields.The problem is that when the user presses the OK button it should test whether some combobox is still empty, since this will otherwise return nothing and that will create an error somewhere else in the program. I do this within the OK_Button_Click event of the dialog box by testing whether the selectedItem is equal to nothing, if not it calls me.close, but if it is equal to nothing it displays a messagebox indicating that the user should still pick something from that combobox.Now the problem: when the OK button is clicked in the messagebox the dialog box also closes, even though the me.close isn't executed.

I have installed Visual basic 2010 Express and SQL Sever 2008 r2 Express and when I try to make a connection using the Data Source Configuration wizard, it shows "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner..." I found some similar questions at the forum but are not exactly the same problem. So I would like some help. I am running my lap as administrator.
Like InstallShield, you can choose installation settings without admin permission, but when you click Install, a system confirmation message appear (and that button has the shield icon).
I've written a service that runs with the credential of the user "SYSTEM", this service recursively enumerates the subdirectory of a given directory. My goal is to change the file permission of the directories enumerated. For example I want to set/unset

Here's a drilled-down version of what I'm trying to do.
Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim regType As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String Dim regKey As String = "SOFTWAREFOOBAR"
[code]....
On Windows XP, this works fine. On my Windows 7 64 machine, if I simply run the executable normally, it throws an exception - something along the lines that access to HKCUSOFTWAREFOOBAR is denied. I'm typing this from my XP machine so I don't have the exact message at the moment, but that is the gist of it.
Now, if I run the executable in administrator mode, then it works fine. The intuitive explanation is that writing to HKCU requires elevated privileges. But I've run Steam on the Win7 machine, and I'm pretty sure Steam writes to HKCU without needing elevated privileges. Just running it while logged in as an admin is enough. So, is it possible for me to write a program that creates keys in HKCU too, without needing the user to manually invoke admin mode?
