Registry edit

I am trying to install two registry edits via a Zen bundle:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\O utlook\Preferences]
"DelegateSentItemsStyle"=dword:00000001
and
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\O utlook\Preferences]
"IgnoreSOBError"=dword:00000001
In the bundle, under Advanced Settings, I have Run Action As System and checked Apply HKEY_CURRENT_USER changes to the logged in user's hive instead of .DEFAULT
The regedits are still going under HKEY_USERS .Default
If I 'manually' merge the .reg files, they go where they are intended so it is not the files themselves.

Odd....
You could just try as "Logged on User" since AFAIK these keys are not
restricted from a general user modifying them.

HKCU Registry Edit fails (System as user) on RDP

Hi folks.
Can anyone confirm the following potential bug (or just my user error):
Running Zenworks 11.2.3a.
Create a empty windows bundle
Create a REGISTRY EDIT action in LAUNCH
HKCU / Software / TestKey
Run as SYSTEM, but use logged in user hive instead of .default
Perform a remote connection to a test PC using RDP (not Zenworks Remote) as a non admin user (but a user who is a member of the Remote Adminstrator Group).
When trying to launch the above bundle, the following error occurs:
In the action "Registry Edit", the operation on key "HKEY_USERS\\Software\TestKey" failed due to the following error - "The specified path is invalid. at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.Win32Error(Int32 errorCode, String str) at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.CreateSubKey(String subkey, RegistryKeyPermissionCheck permissionCheck, RegistrySecurity registrySecurity) at Microso".
Specifically, you can see that the users SID is not referenced in the HKEY_USERS path when trying to write the key.
If we perform the same actions when logged onto the machine with the same user, but NOT remotely (i.e. actually at the workstation), there is no problem.
If we perform the same actions remotely with an administrative user (one who is at least in a nested local admin group), there is no problem.
It also seems to affect the "DELETE REGISTRY KEY" action - although no error is displayed (I assume the "do not show error if attempting to delete a key that does not exist" issue was resolved), the key is NOT deleted. I would assume that any registry operation where the SYSTEM user attempts to modify the logged in user's key on a remote desktop session will results in an error.
I'll raise an SR if anyone confirms I'm not being stupid, but I admit not many people are likely to see this issue.

SR #10924934061.
Seems confirmed bug.

Registry editing disabled by your administrator

Win7 Enterprise edition.
64Bit.
In a workgroup setting.
Logged in as local ADMIN.
GPO SETTING - USER CONFIGURATION/Administrative Templates/System - Prevent Access to Registry Editing Tools
Prevent Access to the Registry is ENABLED
Disable regedit from running silently? Is set to NO.
I have a batch file that looks like this below. It is a tool that we use to support the NBC software in use in over a 1000 computers some on a domain some off.
@echo off
cls
echo NBC values:
REM note: "findstr ." removes blank lines
REG QUERY "HKLM\System\NBC\Software\CurrentConfig" /s | find /v "REG.EXE" | findstr .
echo Done.
pause
This BAT file worked without any issues in XP using the settings at the top BUT in Win7 I receive the message "Registry editing has been disabled by your Administrator" message.
By setting the GPO setting to "Not Configured" the BAT file works but we do not want to give users any access to the Registry.
Why does the /s setting not work in Win7 but works in XP?

My thinking is you could achieve what you wanted if it was domain based group policy as you could filter your admin accounts from applying the GPO so it wouldn't take effect for them, but would for non-admins.
But i don't think you can filter out the local policy in the same way - it's been a long time since i've used local policies - so there may be a way to do it - i'll take a quick look.
It's actually possible to do exactly this kind of filtering on the local group policy nowadays. At least in Windows 7/2008 R2.
It's not the same nice kind of filtering as you have on domain GPOs where you can select specific groups or users but you can setup different User Configuration for Administrator and Non-administrators.
Start MMC elevated and add the Group Policy Object Editor snap-in.
When the snap-in is added you have the possibility to change the target of the Policy Editor from the default Local Computer. Click Browse and select the Users tab and chose to edit Administrators or Non-administrators.
You can add them both to the console to simplify editing.
hopefully that should do it for you, if you just edit the local policy for non-admins.

Registry Edit Bundle Not Working

Hi,
Running ZCM 10.3.1. The "test" workstation is running Windows XP Pro SP3.
I'm trying to create a bundle which will make a Windows registry change when the user first logs in.
I have a "directive" bundle which will create a registry entry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Offi ce\11.0\Excel\Security\FileValidation. Each key is marked "Create If Does Not Exist" and the entry is EnableOnLoad (DWORD) with a value of 0 (also marked "Create If Does Not Exist"). I have a requirement set for "File Exists" = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE set to "YES".
For now, it's assigned to my username. The Distribution Schedule is "None", the Launch Schedule is "ZENworks Login" and the Availability Schedule is "None". The "Shortcut Location" options are all unchecked as I want this to force run (or whatever it was called under ZENworks 7).
In any event, the registry entry is not being created when I login (even though the agent shows the bundle is assigned to me). I'm assuming it has something to do with the shortcut location. Any ideas?
Thanks!

You need to Examine the Impersonation Setting of the Registry Edit Action.
You need to set it to run as the logged on user for HKCU.

Installing hp deskjet f4235 error: "registry editing has been disabled by administrator"

I have been trying to install by HP Deskjet F4235 printer and I keep getting this error message: "registry editing has been disabled by administrator". How do I get around this?

Hi,
I think I confused Computer Configuration with User Configuration in XP, so yes, this policy does exist in Windows XP, sorry for my negligence.
And I am still confused with the silent switch you mentioned, do you mean the
/s in the following command
REG QUERY "HKLM\System\NBC\Software\CurrentConfig" /s | find /v "REG.EXE" | findstr .
It doesn’t mean a silent switch but specifies to query subkeys
/s
-------Specifies to query all subkeys and value names recursively.
You can find detailed information in this link:
Reg query
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742028.aspx
To silently run the .reg file (with the /s switch) from a login script batch file, use the following syntax:
regedit.exe /s path of .reg file
so I suggest you re-edit the bat file use the above syntax for a test.

Set Word 2013 Track Changes settings via Registry edits or Group Policy?

Hi
Would anyone know if there is a way of changing Track Changes settings via registry edits or Group Policy (e.g. changing Simple Markup All Markup)? I've had a look in Group Policy Admin Templates and the Registry but cant see relevant
Thanks!

Hi,
The All Markup/Simple Markup selection is controlled by the RevModeShowSimpleMarkup value within the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Options
The value is 0 (zero) for All Markup or 1 (one) for Simple Markup.
If we close all Word instances, and change the value to 1, then start Word, the All Markup option should be selected.
In addition, some track change settings can also be controlled by the GPO settings in the following location:
Administrative Templates > Microsoft Word 2013 > Word Options > Track changes and compare
If you still need further assistance on this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Regards,

Registry edit Apple requires is causing windows to not detect files on the DVD drive

Registry edit Apple requires is causing windows to not detect files on the DVD drive. If I set up the registry it requires then the files will not be dected & if I do it the way windows requires then the files will be detected but ITunes will not be able to use the optical drive. Is there any kind of patch or something someone can help me with?
Thanks O'Bie

Is there a way to force host collation with a registry edit on Adobe Acrobat 9.5.5?

I found a fix that was designed for 8.0 and it worked on a 9.0.0 machine, however, I have a user with 9.5.5 and the following fix did not work for her:
Force Host Collation in Acrobat 8.0
Disclaimer: This procedure involves editing the registry. Adobe doesn't provide support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure to back up the registry before modifying it. For more information about the registry, refer to Windows Help.
To force host collation for all printers:
1. Choose Start > Run, type Regedit in the Open text box, and then click OK.
2. Make a backup copy of the registry:
a. Choose File > Export....
b. In the Export Registry File dialog box, choose All for the Export range.
c. Specify a location and name for the backup copy, and then click Save.
3. Navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0 registry key.
4. Create a key named AVPrivate. In that key, create a DWORD value named bForceHostCollationPS with a value of 1. For instructions on creating a registry key and a value, see the help for the Registry Editor in Help > Help Topics.
5. Choose File > Exit, and then restart the computer.

Windows 7 automatic computer maintenance - Registry edit for group policy?

A lot of folks at my company have broken desktop shortcuts (refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/978980 for the issue) and I want to edit the group policy so we can turn off scheduled computer maintenance for everyone. Is there a specific
registry location for this change?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Not sure how to disable shorcut cleanup portion. Here is what it does
Broken shortcuts - Broken shortcuts are invalid references to programs and other resources. For example, a desktop shortcut for a USB device may be regarded as broken if the USB device is not connected when the System Maintenance troubleshooter
performs its maintenance. When there are more than 4 broken shortcuts on the desktop, then all broken shortcuts on the desktop are removed.
Troubleshooting history is taking up disk space - Frees up disk space by removing troubleshooting history logs older than 1 month.
System time is incorrectly set - Sets the correct system time and synchronize system clock with the time server. When the system time is set incorrectly, features that rely on time measurement such as Product Activation, malware scanners,
browser certificates, etc... might not work correctly.
Unused desktop icons - Icons and shortcuts on the desktop that have been unused in 3 months are removed.
Disk volume errors - Frees up disk space by repairing hard disk volume errors such as bad sectors, lost clusters, cross-linked files and directory errors. These problems can cause the file system to report incorrect volume details and occupy
excessive disk space.
Error reports are taking up disk space - Frees up disk space by removing error reports and logs older than 1 month.

Installer - Registry Editing Issues - Bug?

I'm having trouble trying to set up some registry keys in an installer using LabVIEW 2011. The issue is that I create a registry structure, but when I open the installer again my registry structure is different from what it was when I saved it.
Couple of screen shots showing what I created (before I click OK), and what I get after I open the installer (What I View). I did this twice with a new project each time and got slightly different results. Also attached is the project.
When I open the project file in a text editor it looks like all the registry folders are there. In my production project with keys everything also seems to be intact, just that I can't see it on the screen to edit it.
This almost forces me to enter all of the registry information correctly the first time, because I may or may not be able to come back later and edit things.

It's a heirarchy issue. I've recreated the problem on my machine and notice, after careful inspection, that LabVIEW had only re-arranged the folders so that within the same heirarchy, they appear in alphabetical order. I did this with the project you sent, as well as one of my own. The folders aren't missing, just re-arranged, correct? See my attachments, I have the same "problem" with funky folders, but you can see it's just alphabetizing the folders.
Also, What version of LabVIEW are you running?
Does this make sense? I can clarify if not, hope this solves your issue!

Registry edit in Novell Login

Hi!
I'm trying to execute the following Windows XP register edit in Novell
Login:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;Disable simple file sharing
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Lsa]

What would I have to do to make this reghack to run?
XP's SP2 always asks if I want to run the hack if I activate it manually,
but how do I make Novell to just "do it", no questions asked? :)
And is it possible to separate Win XP from Win 2000?

Yes, you can check OS_VERSION in the script. But running this as an
appobject with force-run gives you more control.

Cut/copy and Paste NOT working, NO malware and registry edit only temporary in FF 18.0.2

I've followed EVERY suggested "cure" for the FAILED Cut/Copy - Paste function in FF 18.0.2 without success and am entirely considering UNINSTALLING FF and going back to IE8. There are MANY FF features I like and want to keep it but the simplest things become so frustrating ...
SUCH AS: 1) Clipboard has worked ONLY SPORADICALLY no matter what I do, 2) Why is there no URL history while using PRIVATE BROWSING so I can retrace my own steps when needed by either pressing the BACKSPACE key or clicking the back arrow. Pressing the back arrow ONLY goes a certain number of steps back and then loses my origination point., 3) Why does the EMPTY CACHE button NOT clear all HISTORY. i.e., I go to a website, say Yahoo email, do my thing and sign out, then click HOME then Empty Cache and enter Yahoo email for a different email account and Yahoo recognizes my attempt and enters me into my previous email User name. Shouldn't happen, in my opinion. Any help here, WITHOUT run AV/malware detection/clean and delete registry entries since NONE OF THESE do anything positive??

For about 2 weeks I had this problem and today I fixed it!
Didn't fancy doing a Reset of Firefox as I'd only just done one a few months ago, manually.
Basically, I uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I've been a ZoneAlarm fan for years but the software just got worse and worse and for about a year this weird thing pops up while I'm in Firefox by pressing CTRL Enter or something, it's like ZoneAlarm has put some kind of layer between me and the browser.
Anyway, uninstalled it, it rebooted and did a scandisk which did find and fix a few errors too, so could also be that.
But I'm happy without ZA now as I've found a better one called Online Armour... non of that sneaky trying to install toolbars in your browser rubbish of ZA.
Hope this helps!
I can't tell you how good it feels to have copy & paste fully working again!

MITM Security Registry Edit Causing SMTP Relay Issue

Hi, I recently was asked by a client to harden all externally facing web resources for a PCI compliance scan. I found a script that does most of the work by adding various protocols (TLS 1.2, SSL 3.0, etc.) and enabling them. The script however was not helping
us get past Man In The Middle (MITM) scans, so I added 2 registry settings;
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SChannel\
added
DisableRenegoOnServer 1
AllowInsecureRenegoClients 0
After doing this a Linux web app could not relay messages via SMTP (the only server having a problem) on port 25. So, I had to back out the changes in Exchange, but now I'm wondering how to work around this? Anyone every run into this or have any tips they
can offer? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When the users fail to send/receive emails, are there any error message or NDR?
Try removing the “AllowInsecureRenegoServers” key and see whether the issue still persists.
Thanks,

Does Bootcamp Restrict Windows 7 Registry Editing?

I've been trying to disable core parking through the Windows Registry Editor. Now whether you think that's a good idea or bad, it seems that most items in the Registry's menu are greyed and not accessable. I am admin. Is this just my lack of Windows prowess or has Apple restricted my Windows experience?

I will have to look up what that means. Or intails. But if it has to do with disabling features of the (Nehalem iX family of processors) then, and just me, on my PCs HT can be turned off, Power Options to change idle power. In BIOS there are a number of ways to change and adjust but THAT is what/where you are locked out using Apple's implementation and proprietary EFI.
Requires that you have a quad core (not 4 logical HT cores):
The setting in the 1st post of this thread [ and the regedit it " replaces " in the cross-referenced thread ] is solely to disable CPU Core Parking in Win 7 for quad-core DAW's.
