    Any way to repair registry permissions?

    I try to install different programs and they will give me errors that they get access denied to create or modify different registry keys. I'm logged in as the administrator so that shouldn't be a problem. Is there a program or a process out there that will repair the registry permissions so that programs will install properly again?

    Go to Start>Run>Regedit, then in the Registry Editor select "HK_Local_Machine". Then go to Edit>Permissions, and make sure that the Administrators group has "Full control" selected.

    That doesn't work. When I try that it says that I don't have permission to make those changes. I tried checking the inherit permissions box as well, doesn't work. I did a repair install of windows and still it won't let me fix the permissions on the registry.

    Can you make yourself or the administrators group owner?
    Go to permissions|advanced|owner tab
    Make sure the "change owner of subcontainers..." box is checked.

    When you are in the reg editor in permissions you need to select advanced, under owner tab select Administrators group and make sure you are an administrator... and then put a check in the "replace owner on sub containers" that will (Should) allow you to get er done...

    If that doesn't do it, then it is probably that your everyday Administrator account has become corrupted. Back up all your data, then go into the normally hidden default Admin account, then delete your normal account from Control Panel>User Accounts, then recreate it again. Hopefully that should sort things out. To get into the default admin account, at the Welcome Login Screen hit Ctrl>Alt>Del twice and you'll get a Windows 2000-style login box. Type "Administrator" for the username and whatever password was entered when Windows was first installed (if any). To get to the default Admin account in Home Edition you need to boot into Safe Mode first.

    Well, I tried multiple admin accounts and nothing helped. Also I already tried making myself the owner and it said I didn't have permissions.

    I don't have the computer anymore, I got it working good enough.
