   Hi there   
      
   I need to be able to programmatically set permissions on registry keys using   
   VB / VBScript / VBA. So far I have had a look at doing this using the   
   WScript.Shell object, API calls, and WMI but the only one of these that goes   
   any where near registry permissions is WMI and that is only to get the   
   permissions of a key (cannot set). I am also quite happy for the code to   
   call an external program to perform the task but can't seem to find anything   
   that will do the job.   
      
   The fact that regedt32 can set permissions on registry keys, and that the OS   
   enforces these permissions whenever anything accesses the registry,   
   indicates to me that there must be some sort of programming methodology   
   available.   
      
   Can anyone please point me in the right direction?   
      
   Thanks in advance   
   David
