Specify Anonymous Remote Registry Access (Windows NT/2000/XP) Category: Home > Windows > Accessories > Registry Editor
This tweak allows you to specify which keys under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive that anonymous users are allowed to access remotely. This is useful because some services require remote access to the registry to function correctly. Open your registry and find the key below. Create a new Multi-String value, or modify the existing value called 'Machine' using the settings below. Exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change to take effect.
Note: These keys will bypass general access restrictions but will still be restricted if an explicit access restriction exists for that location.
Disclaimer: Modifying the registry can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. We cannot guarantee that problems resulting from modifications to the registry can be solved. Use the information provided at your own risk.
