Hello Frank, Read permissions should be enough. On my system (and I'll bet on Dan Grunberg's, too), the key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation has Read permissions by default for Users. Dan needs to check this with REGEDT32.EXE. If that's the case, he'll need to confer

Hello Frank, If read permissions are not sufficient to read the key, the macro is broken. Undoubtedly. But between fixing the macro, which is beyond Dan's control, and changing permissions on a single registry key, I certainly know (and I've said) what I'd do. There is an evil user in every

Thank you for your help Alexander and Andrew and Frank. The permission fixed it. One question though, I already had read permission. Why should it necessary to have write permission to allow %RegRead to work? -- Dan Using: The Bat! v2.10.03, BayesIt! 0.5.4, MyMacros 1.10 Windows

Hello Dan, I did it less elegantly... Is there a way that that Admin can empower a User so %RegRead read will work on one key? Yes, but you'll need to do it the more-than-less elegant way. ;-) Log in as Admin or start up REGEDT32.EXE as an Admin with RUNAS. Start up REGEDT32.EXE, find the

I updated to version 1.10 of the MyMacros plug-in. (I seem to recall that my old version was 1.07). Under MyMacros 1.07, the %RegRead macro could be used in a Quick Template to return the number of minutes difference between the time and my computer's time zone and UTC. For example. MyMacros 1.07
