AllowedPaths

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg

Description

The AllowedPaths subkey contains a list of the registry paths that all users can access remotely, even if they do not otherwise have permission to access the winreg subkey. AllowedPaths permits users to perform some system functions that require remote access to specific registry keys, such as checking the status of a printer, without having access to the winreg subkey.

Change method

To view the permissions set for the AllowedPaths subkey, use Regedt32.exe. On the Security menu, click Permissions.

Note

The paths specified in the AllowedPaths subkey can be accessed anonymously.
