One of the ways in which you can protect your Windows registry is to configure permissions. You can do so by opening the registry and using the Permissions option. An alternate method is to set the registry permissions using Group Policy. You can easily accomplish this using the steps outlined below.
- Open the GPO you want to use for implementing registry permissions.
- Expand Computer Configuration | Windows Settings | Security Settings | Registry.
- Right click the Registry and select Add Key.
- Locate the Registry key you want to configure permissions for. Select the Registry key and Click OK.
- Configure the appropriate permissions and Click OK.
- Make the appropriate selection from the Add Object dialog box and Click OK.

I can’t access the Internet. A window displays the following:
“This shutdown was initiated by NT Authority/system.” How can I prevent this from happening?

Works fine. However does not work on win 2k box with sp4.
I’ve added the HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\windows NT\iniFilemapping\control.ini
And given permissions to the users group. Works on XP, but windows 2000 pro the permission doesn’t seem to “take”.
Anything specific to 2k Pro??
