I found a bug in LIST REGKEYS / REGVALS when testing something under Windows Vista. These commands are denied access to the registry in a limited user account because they ask for too many access rights (not just read only.) It would probably be a problem in a limited account under XP as well, but I haven't actually tested this.

I wouldn't consider this a bug with VDS, as these are issues caused by
Vista's over zealous security implementations, which were not present
in XP when the current version of VDS was released.

Garrett, not necessarily. XP limited user may exhibit the same problem; a limited user account if trying to load a key using a modify or read/write token will also return an internal error denying permission. When calling the registry you need to make sure to specify the READ only token when loading a registry key; otherwise Windows is under the assumption you are attempting to load the key for any type of manipulation - it cannot read your mind and know you only want to read from the registry. This is not something which is configurable by VDS itself but it is in many langauges which allow registry access - specifically for this instance - you define what type of access to the registry you need.

PG is right. It's an inexplicable oversight and I'm really surprised that no-one has noticed this before. The issue with requiring more than just read access was fixed for the @regread function a long time ago.
