RegOwnit released : Feedback and support

**HappyAndyK** · 06-09-2011, 01:56 PM

Lee has another app which should make the life of those who often make changes in the Windows registry easier.

RegOwnit is a standalone tool that lets take control of a Registry keys using Administrator, HomeUsers or the current Logged On User account.

If you have any feedback to give, its developer Lee will be happy to help you out here.

Looks very useful. Runs OK on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 so far. Thanks for your work.

Just a small suggestion to Lee. If possible you could add "Everyone" Group as well because that's something which we used quiet often.And a registry backup option as well.

Great application BTW .. Keep up the good work

I have been looking for possible solutions to include Everyone. For some reason it will not recognize the name\SID for Everyone but I am not giving up. The backup option is an option I have been playing around with and will include it in the future as well as a few other options to safeguard users.

Nope problem ... Sometime some codes just won't work. I can't test it now since I'm on XP.

A backup option, I would have said, is a priority. I have reviewed many registry applications over the years and my biggest bone of contention has always been - where is the backup? Through various newsgroups/forum how many times have we heard the remark 'I've used xyz registry application and now I can't boot up my PC?' Did the application create a backup? 'Well it asked me, but I ignored it, is it important?' Just reading that last sentence should encourage anyone who creates applications that can modify the registry to make a backup option default. Personally I don't even think the user should have the choice; any changes should be backed up as a matter of course.

Just what I could have use for it some days ago. Thanks

Soul: Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you found it useful.

Shyam: I won't say positive as I don't have XP, but this should work with XP as well. SID's have not changed which is what the application looks for. The only issue I might can see is locating username but as long as that works I believe it will do as intended. If you want to try it, create a test key and see if it will work on it and let me know and I'll update the info once I go Beta v2.

John: I agree. If you look at any of the applications I have written here at TWC, any of them that I think should have a backup option have them and are setup as default. This was a side project that I plan to extend upon and backups are a must.

Japp:LOL, well least now you have an option:
