Windows 10: How to Deny Full Control of this Registry Key?

Hi, everyone
I hope to deny the full control permission of administrator account on registry key named as "HKCU:\Control Panel\Keyboard".
I have some failed PowerShell command codes, please you correct them.
Thanks a lot.
The failed PowerShell command codes as following.

$acl = Get-Acl 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Keyboard'
$acl.Access
$idRef = [System.Security.Principal.NTAccount]("DESKTOP-R5J32KL\USER")
$regRights = [System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryRights]:*Biggrineny
$inhFlags = [System.Security.AccessControl.InheritanceFlags]::None
$acType = [System.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlType]:*Biggrineny
$rule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule ($idRef, $regRights, $inhFlags, $prFlags, $acType)
$acl.AddAccessRule($rule)
$acl.SetAccessRule($rule)
$acl | Set-Acl -Path 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Keyboard'

First picture as attached is my registry key information.



Second picture as attached is PowerShell registry key information.



Third picture as attached is total PowerShell errors.



Last picture as attached is the final result, and nothing happened.

Any way to edit the registry without loading Windows?

You will need to find a way to grant yourself permissions for full control of that hive/key.
Just as the "Trusted Installer" has.
You may have to log on as admin to do this.

And, a search to start you on your quest.

I did it a long time ago, to get rid of & edit some hives, keys, etc.
Goodluck.*Smile

 

ATITool registry key

Hello,

During ATITool installation, the following registry key was added to my registry:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{85b5ddd0-e090-4b15-bdf2-a443a3ca0b66}"

After uninstalling the program, this key remained. I tried to delete it through the registry editor but it returned the following error:

"Cannot delete {85b5ddd0-e090-4b15-bdf2-a443a3ca0b66}: Error while deleting key."

I'm running Vista Home Premium 32-bit by the way. I also tried to change permissions for the key and deleting in safe mode, but neither of those worked either.

Any ideas on how i can remove this key? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

Registry Key Customisation


Hi Guys,

1. Is there any way to find the registry key for the default icon of an application in Windows 10? Dell has installed a FreeFall Data Protection application in my machine, which appears in the control panel and I'd like to change the icon for it. However, I do not know the registry key and couldn't find anything on it on the net.

How do I go about finding the registry keys for an application that's listed in the control panel?

2. I would also like to change the Quick Access icon in File Explorer, but do not know the registry key for it.

Thank you.


Regards,
Andrew
