Hey guys,

i am having trouble by becoming owner of a key in the registry. Maually it works fine but I have to change the owner by code. My tool I need it for is written in C# but if it is necessary I will use another language. The key I deal with is :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{5c4f28b5-f869-4e84-8e60-f11db97c5cc7}

If there are some solutions please let me know.
Thanks alot and exuse my English.

What do you mean by "owner of the key"? These values are set by windows at installation time and you should not change them, unless you are happy to reinstall the whole operating system.

Here is how I become owner of the key manually.

I need this to add a button to the Windows File Explorer to start my tool then.

Sorry but I do not know how you would do that programmatically. I suggest you ask at the website where you found the information.
