Hi, a fue questions regarding default permissions: pagefile.sys Who is the owner? (TrustedInstaller or Administrators?) How are the access permissions sets? and the same question for registry roots HKCR, HKCU, HKLM, HKU, HKCC What is the propagation down to the tree? Are there any keys not accessible to Administartor? I have been not able to find documentation about default permissions in Vista and Win7. Does anyone know if official document exists somehere?  

I would ask this queston @ http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/category/w7itproGulab Prasad, MCITP: Exchange Server 2010 | MCITP: Exchange Server 2007 MCITP: Lync Server 2010 | MCITP: Windows Server 2008 My Blog | Z-Hire Employee Provisioning App

Nobody can help? When I was writing my first question I was not able to read security on pagefile.sys (on the tab there was only message, something like unable to display security). I was trying to take ownership (as i know the pagefile.sys should be owned by Administartors). Bud, I am not sure now. It is reinstalled system (oem version) and I hope it is clean. Next I did set up virtual memory to 0 and switch on clear virtual memory pagefile on shutdown. Here is the state after restart. Can anyone comment it? Is it expected behavoiur? I cant list pagefile.sys if I run dir on command like Administrator. (that was expected) But I can see the pagefile.sys in explorer window logged on as standard user. (is the pagefile.sys delete or not?) When I look up at security now I can see the permissions. But on the place where the owner shoud be displayed there is a message "Unable to display owner".

Hi This is the Exchange Sever Deployment forum. Check the link Gulab posted above for the correct forum. Cheers, Steve

Oh, sorry. I didnt check that. I was reading Windows forum when I click ask question and start registartion. It looks like wrong redirection.
