Well, like I said, I've never done it in Python, and this is going back a bit, so some things might be different, but I'm not talking about RegSaveKey or RegRestoreKey, I'm talking about using EnumKey and CreateKey. As far as I can remember, I didn't have any special permissions for that.

Almost. The RegSaveKey and RegRestoreKey functions, which export and import entire subtrees, need the SE_BACKUP_NAME privilege. The administrator account can get that privilege, but you have to use APIs to ask for it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724917.aspx -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 DISCLAIMER: This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
