New submission from Pabitra: UAC does not give KEY_ALL_ACCESS on various keys, that's a know fact. But, KEY_READ access also throws WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied for few keys.
Out of all the keys in HKEY_USERS, I am trying to access, "S-1-5-18", "S-1-5-19" and "S-1-5-20". Openkey() with KEY_READ works fine for "S-1-5-18". However for "S-1-5-19" and "S-1-5-20" it fails (even if I use KEY_READ access). Then how can I read the values for those specific keys, if KEY_READ also shows access denied? ---------- components: Windows files: Winreg.jpg messages: 274951 nosy: pabitra, paul.moore, steve.dower, tim.golden, zach.ware priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: winreg KEY_READ also fails for some keys type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file44456/Winreg.jpg _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28011> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
