For registry access, you can install the Remote Registry Service for Win9x machines. This allows you to control and edit the registry for a computer remotely. Worked great when we needed it in our 500+ user network. http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUManagementTools/W95RemReg/Default.asp David Jackson, GSEC djackson () learnsecurity net -----Original Message----- From: Spencer D'oro [mailto:sdoro () comcast net] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2003 8:33 AM To: 'Ansgar -59cobalt- Wiechers' Cc: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: RE: protect MS Windows 95/98/Me But if Registry editing is disabled on the machine for that user through system policies, then how do you disable it through registry? And what editor are you talking about? I don't know what you are referring too, but please enlighten us, because if there is a way to do it, I want to know.

This is not necessarily true. If Win9x policies are configured properly, the users can be quite limited in what they can change, even
for the current session. It's just a matter of putting the proper time and effort into it.
All I need to disable any policy is an editor and regedit.
