Hi
wonder if somone can help me please................I need to write a script to manipulate the registry for any user using VB.

For any (non-admin user) I basically I need to alter the subkey folder permissions and set them to 'deny' (ie 'ticks' in 'Full Control' and 'Read') so that on logon any user can't access that subkey folder.

This needs to be achieved by running the script one time only at machine build time, so that the subkey folder e.g. HKCU\Software\Recent File List is set to 'deny'.

Hi
looking around a bit more.....do I need to alter the default hive for new users (ntuser.dat) and restrict the permissions for HKCU\Software\Recent File List there so that any new logons will pick it up ?

Where is ntuser.dat on Vista ? various people have said it is hidden - but where and how do I unhide it ?

Would an ActiveX control help?
