Vista - Cannot add permissions in registry

08-29-2007

Hello,

To fix on problem with Microsoft office 2007 on Vista Ultimate, I need to
change permissions to this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pip

I'm an administrator, of course. The problem is that right now this jey
doesn't have any permissions, so, although the message tells me that I can
change permissions, I cannot.

Is there a way to do this?

Thank you,

Hi Peter,

You will need to take ownership of that registry key first, then you should be able to modify it. You can see how to do it in "Method Two" at this site.
