    Unhappy RegEnumKey returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

    Hi folks,
    Can someone tell me what I need to do to enumerate the subkeys of a registry key? Is there a special privilege for this which overrides the dacl or do I need to put an entry in the dacl to allow it?
    I'm currently running with SeRestorePrivilege and SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege.

    xx.

    You have to RegOpenKeyEx the key which subkeys are to be enumerated with KEY_ENUMERATE_SUB_KEYS access mask.
    You should use RegEnumKeyEx rather than RegEnumKey

    Thanks for pointing this out. I am now getting the same error back from RegOpenKeyEx.
