#23465 - 2002-06-18 05:56 PM new KiXtart user - registry changes not working
Jay S Jay S Lurker Registered: 2002-06-18 Posts: 4	I just started using KiXtart for domain login scripts and things are going well. I'm now trying to make changes to the registry to lock things down for the user and found a registry key that it will not allow me to change: WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\Policies\Explorer\", "NoDesktop", "1", "REG_DWORD") Actually, I can't create any value under Explorer. Access Denied. Users are logging in our W2K/NT4 domain. There is not a local account on the PC because we have users that roam. If I add the Domain Users group to the local administrators group, the changes can be made. But I don't think that is a wise move. Any ideas? Jay

The Key you specified is problably addressable via policy. You could also write an "Admin" script that you would execute as a domain admin and remotely set the value you need. _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

Jay S Jay S Lurker Registered: 2002-06-18 Posts: 4	Thanks for the quick reply Howard. Yes, the user only has read access to the key. If we had W2K clients I could apply a group policy, but unfortuately we have all NT 4 clients. I was hoping KiXtart had a secret function to do my task . Is this a job for POLEDIT?
