I am trying to change the permisions of the following registry key from within VB.net:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMSLicensing
Basically need to change users to full control. I need to change permissions for the "users" group.
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'm am developing a program for my computer and as I am using Windows 7 i have to execute it as admin every time I open my program. My IT teacher said I could set my program's permissions to 1, doing this the program would have admin privileges. But the thing is I don't know how to do it.

1) changing computer description - wmi perhaps?
2) changing computer name - again wmi perhaps?
3) changing permissions on an existing registry key to full control
4) changing the "time to display list of operating systems" when booting from 30 secs to 3
5) turn off simple file sharing
6) and setting current user account so that password doesn't expire - at moment I do it from cmd prompt and do "wmic useraccount where "name='name'" set passwordexpires = false
7) change power plan settings so put the computer to sleep is "never" on both battery and mains

To do this I need to now how to run the code as an administrator. I've got the code to change permissions working, I just don't know how to run it with an administrator's credentials. The code is:

My app needs a config file that can be written to by the user. I've got the Setup project to install it to [CommonAppDataFolder][Manufacturer]][Product] but that folder is then read only to normal users (which defeats the point really!).
I've read various articles on the internet on how to solve this, ranging from making the app a Full Trust ClickOnce app to running a separate app post install to change the permissions.

Does anyone here have any knowledge of how to surpass this problem? I'm the Administrator of my PC and have full permissions and UAC is turned off so that shouldn't be the problem either

View 1 RepliesI've been struggling for hours now to get some working code to list the share permissions of a remote share. I've got WMI code which uses win32_share which lists the shares and path and it works great. I"m now trying to add in a routine to get the share permissions as well.
I've searched just about every site for some sample code and can only find some C# (I think) code.

In my vb.net winforms application using Visual Studio 2010, I'm trying to work something out and my brain just isn't working today. I'm rewriting this application to make it more efficient and trying to minimize the sql calls.
Currently it works like this.User logs in to the app, it loads the main form, where the user can open up different forms to access different client data. Each time a record is loaded in one of these new forms it also loads that specific users permissions from a Sql Server 2005 table.
What I want to do is when my main form loads after the user logs in, is load a public dataset or datatable, or any other suggestion, storing that users permissions so I can access them locally without hitting the sql server every time the user opens a client record.

This is what I'm trying:
CODE:
The registry key exists on my PC, so I'm having a hard time debugging it on another PC. When it threw the error, I commented out the last block of code to see if I was checking the key wrong or if it would throw the error just on the variable declaration.
Which is did. I get why it did. You can't .Open a key that doesn't exist. However, I looked it up and everyone is recommending that we do it this way. But this way doesn't exist.
I need to add a value to the registry for the runonce key but I keep getting this error:Argument not specified for parameter 'MainKey' of 'Public Function BungeRegValue(MainKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey, sKey As String, sKeyName As String, oNameValue As Object, RegType As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind) As Boolean'.Creating the Function is fine but I get the error when I try to add the function to a button click event

I have access to VS 2010 through work and I'm having a bit of a play. I'm trying to create a small program to show the installed software from GP and have the ability to delete a selected registry key from a list. Am using a checked list box and 2 buttons. Also have 2 labels on the form but just using them as a visual check as to what the string says.
The program starts alright and gives the list of installed software from Group Policy. I'm having the problem deleting the ticked item. Here is the code I'm using. I think the problem is when it comes to the .deletesubkey line and what I have entered. I want it to delete the selected item rather than have the specific key name entered.
Imports Microsoft.Win32
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

When my program first launches, it generates a GUID which is then saved to the registry and compared to an online database when an internet connection is detected. If it is a valid registry key, another registry value is saved stating that it is valid. Is there a way to protect these 2 registry entries from being changed?
