I need to obtain Read access or Enumerate_Subkeys access to the System node under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE of the registry. I have no problem doing this on 98' however NT and 2000 seem to have security restriction on this node. I can open this node through Regedit on 2000 but not programmatically. Could someone help me please. I have attempted to open the node with RegOpenKeyEx and RegCreateKey. Help someone is going to beat me!
