HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and Windows 7 question
By default, in Windows 7, does regedit allow editing of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE by using normal user account? Thanks.

In general, a non-Administrator user account is allowed to read and write to HKEY_LOCAL_USER and to only read HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. Bye.Luigi Bruno
