Error Writing To Registry Windows Xp

mistake on Windows Vista, but even so I had a hard time finding the solution on Google so I thought I'd post about it. When I was trying to add a key in the Registry Editor, regedit.exe, I got an error message saying "Cannot error writing to the registry windows 7 create value: Error writing to the registry."I have never seen this on XP (but then again I

Finally I figured out that I did not have the right permissions in the registry tree.The solution is simply to right click on the folder and select Permissions. You may not

even have the right to change the permissions, if this is the case then first you have to take ownership - click Advanced and then the Owner tab. Funny thing about my folder is that the owner was a group called "TrustedInstaller". After I had taken ownership, I wanted to change it back to the "TrustedInstaller" group but it was nowhere to be found. Apparently you can't change it back - it is not a group but a service and part of Windows Resource Protection (WRP) cannot create value error writing to the registry windows 2008 as noted by Richard Civil and others in this TechNet post. Two other useful newbie things I found out - thanks to this post by Tim Sneath of Microsoft - when trying to figure out how to run a regedit.exe as Administrator in Vista was this: Run from the XP Start menu is now replaced with Start Search bar in Vista. Simply type regedit.exe (or cmd.exe etc.) in the search bar and hit Enter and it will run. To run an application with Administrator privileges using this method, instead of hitting Enter you hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter. 19 Comments (Click here to add your comment!)

ThanksXp10r3r_3X Anonymous Jul 12, 2007 @ 19:03:00 Thanks for the bit about restarting Outlook after setting securities on Macros. I guess I'm so used to Outlook telling me when it needs to restart that it didn't occur to me there would be a case where it wouldn't tell me. Anonymous Jan 02, 2008 @ 22:50:00 This was very useful.

If I check the next key under "services," I can edit the values and add http://superuser.com/questions/718958/cannot-create-value-error-writing-to-the-registry values under it. But, for some reason, I can't edit this key for the particular software on a couple of machines. I have tried running as administrator but that doesn't work either. So if I have full control and I'm the owner, is there something else that could be locking this key? The permissions are identical with the next key in hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\services so I'm not sure what I am missing. windows-registry share|improve this question edited Feb 19 '14 at 15:48 asked Feb 19 '14 at 15:33 mirk 16114 Anti-virus packages actively disallow editing of their own and often some system services.
