Well locking the registry perms was effective and had no immediately obvios side-effects on Acrobat Reader's function. I'm not sure if that will hold true through updates and patches though.
The process gets kind of ugly considering we are dealing with HKCU too. I can have the users run a script to lock themselves out of the reg key, but undoing it is a nightmare of finding the all the correct ids on the computer for all the users and changing the perms in the HKU tree. Much easier to give away than to take back it seems. Somehow, I think its best to persue another strategy. -Bill On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 3:59 PM, Peter van Houten <[email protected]>wrote: > Would be interested in the results.
