    How do I use PowerShell commands to change Permissions for a Registry?


    Hi, everyone
    My main objective is make the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2"
    more safer and not auto run programs.

    Secondly, I hoped the PowerShell command codes could batch run them automatically.

    Protected the registry key before:

    After protected the registry key:

    I had some PowerShell command codes about the aforementioned registry key.
    $path = "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2"
    $Acl = Get-ACL $path
    $AccessRule= New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RegistryAccessRule("Everyone","FullControl","Deny")
    $Acl.SetAccessRule($AccessRule)
    Set-Acl $path $Acl

    Q.Could you please help me to correct them and tell me what command codes used to batch run them automatically.

    Thanks a lot.

    I can't look at your script right now, but use Windows Task Scheduler to run it automatically.

    I suggest you study this instead Turn On or Off AutoPlay - TenForumsTutorials

    There are lots of other ways to run programs automatically. A very well regarded tool for investigating this is MS SysInternals AutoRuns for Windows
    There is a lot of guidance available for this tool.
