THANKS....BUT.... your instructions are missing something...they are also quite 'vague' and hard to follow if your not already familiar with how to use that section - please can you give full noob instructions step by step?
when you click DISABLE INHERITENCE a window appears with two options which you dont say which one too choose and it sounds like you could possibly screw up the system choosing the wrong one?
which one do you choose?
if you choose REMOVE ALL then it removes everything in the window (thank god for cancel!)
I have followed through after choosing CONVERT and your advice of :
Group "Administrators" -> Allow -> full control.
just doesnt seem to work for me? I mean Administrators already have full control according to it?
then this advice:
"Advanced" -> User "SYSTEM" -> "Edit" -> Type "Deny" -> "Show advanced permissions" -> "Clear all" -> check only "Set value"
seems to imply your starting from scratch again? after step 3 in your instructions you cant not click "Advanced"- only SYSTEM as your already in the Advanced section...
Also you dont mention to check boxes such as
"Only apply these permissions to objects within this container" as shown in your screenys this is checked
and
"Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" which seems to be checked in your screenshot.
--- I propose these new instructions?
[HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\UserSwitch]
Change value "Enabled" from "0" to "1"
Right mouse click at registry key "UserSwitch" -> "Permissions"
"Advanced" -> User "SYSTEM": "Disable inheritance"
- choose 'CONVERT' when prompted
Change owner from "SYSTEM" to group "Administrators"
by clicking change at top and typing in Administrator into the box that appears then click OK
- then check the box "Replace owner on SubContainers and Objects"
click "SYSTEM" -> "Edit" -> Type "Deny" -> "Show advanced permissions" -> "Clear all" -> check only "Set value"
- check box "Only apply these permissions to objects within this container"
- click APPLY / OK on all windows
those instructions worked for me...thanks for the tip
