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'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
I have developed a VB.net 2008 application.My application is running successfully in x86 machine.I write some files in windows folder.When I test it on Windows 7 x64 machine with administrator log in there is no problem with this.If i run it with other user log in it gives me an error for access denied for files in Windows folder.
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.
im trying to make a vb 2010 program to startup with windows with that is the user choice and i have got this code from the net:

In Windows 7 you can pin a program to the taskbar so it appears like a quicklaunch item. In my program I need to get a list of all the programs that are pinned to the taskbar. Does anyone know how I can do this programatically, either through an API call or through a registry setting?

I am a newbie so please forgive me if my terminology is incorrect.I am trying to Update a Registry sub key value. I have done this a few times before with success. But this time is kinda different. I noticed a few things,like the sub key value is in HEX when I export the key (The value that I want to input is from a sub key that I exported) I can only get the registry to accept the command if I do not specify the registry value kind, but that doesn't do me any good if its not the correct value kind.
I set the font size and style using Vb code as i'm designing a Notepad like application, and when i start a new form i want to reset all the settings. Everything else is working, i'm just having a hard time working these out.
Is there a way to set admin permission on them user/AppData/Local/Temp folder?I need to set it so folders and subfolder cant be deleted, then turn it back on. Not doing anything shady... this is for personal use I make themes for BB phones, and there is a trick where you can set this permission, then export the theme, and it allows you to look at the code of the theme so you can make adjustments in how things work
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.

I need to change a value which is stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREAPP_NAME. It is not possible to use .NET's registry functions, since they have drastic restrictions.
