Windows 10: Take registry key ownership via CMD or Regini or Powershell

Hi !


I have a little problem. In my workplace we use Win 10 IOT LTSB. I have a task that i must clear the safeboot funkction of the Windows system. I googled for solving the problem, and i get answer that i must change registry key names ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal) to disable the function fully. Manually i can make the rename process with the method of taking the ownership and inherit all the permission for all the objects, but i must make this scripted with regini or cmd, or powershell. My problem is the ownership taking. How can i make? If anybody can help solve my problem, please write me a little noob's guide. I'm not an expert of coding.. Thank you !

Does regini command accept space in key name?

I'm trying to use regini to update registry permission.

Is there way to update permission of key name with a space?

Registry key path is following.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Alpha Industries inc.

The name of key is not the actual registry key name but format is the same.

Yes, there are 2 spaces and a dot(.) in the name.

I tried following context in the text file called 1.TXT and ran REGINI 1.TXT but no success. It doesn't update permission.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\alpha industries inc. [1 5 7 17]

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\alpha industries inc." [1 5 7 17]

Is there any other command line tool to accomplish this?

Space in the registry key name is not unusual. You will see many registry key with space and also with special characters so please don't recommend me to remove spaces and dot from the name.

Thank you

Take Ownership and Delete Registry Key

Sarah,

Thanks for the reply and thanks for suggestions. However, you haven't answered the question asked :-(. The issue that I am having with my computer is "Ownership." I am the administrator and supposedly the owner but Windows thinks that it is :-(.

It has taken days to set up the PC like I want it to look and feel. I certainly don't want to create another local administrator account and go through that ringer again.

At this point, the Warning and Event ID 1534 is a point of principle. I don't want to ignore it. I want to fix it. According to information posted and confirmed by several others, the way to do this is to take ownership and delete two registry keys.
If the whole computer blows up as a result that is fine.

How do I "Take ownership" of this TLD key and delete it?
