New submission from Pabitra:
UAC does not give KEY_ALL_ACCESS on various keys, that's a know fact. But,
KEY_READ access also throws WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied for few
keys.
Out of all the keys in HKEY_USERS, I am trying to access, "S-1-5-18",
"S-1-5-19" and "S-1-5-20". Openkey() with KEY_READ works fine for "S-1-5-18".
However for "S-1-5-19" and "S-1-5-20" it fails (even if I use KEY_READ access).
Then how can I read the values for those specific keys, if KEY_READ also shows
access denied?
