shornw Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Can anyone offer any suggestions. I am trying to implement the following for certain domain users but not all :- RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel", "ConnectionsTab", "REG_DWORD", 1) unfortunately by default, users only have read access to Policies. I have tried RunAs using a local admin account and a domain admin account but this also cannot change the key.

wosteen Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 To write to the "current user" registry hive of another user, you need to determine the SID of the user. You then write to that entry in the registry. So you'd run your script with admin privs, and do something like this: #Include <Security.au3> $sAccount = @UserName ; Change this to whatever user you need to work with. $SID = _Security__LookupAccountName($sAccount) RegWrite("HKEY_USERS\" & $SID[0] & "\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel", "ConnectionsTab", "REG_DWORD", 1) Hope this gets you where you need to be.
