allow users to open/modify Date and Time
If i give users Full Control to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Controls Folder\PowerCfg key in the regestry, then can change Power Options. I am guessing there is a Key I can give users full control so they can open and modify Date and Time on the system. Does anybody know what that key is? Thanks |

Thanks Rather than hacking the registry, your preferred attempt should be to set a local or domain policy that allows users to set the System Time. |

allow users to open/modify Date and Time
OK, let me restate the question. I don't want users to modify, but want them
to have rights to open the timedate.cpl and see the calendar. "Pegasus [MVP]" wrote in message ... "Fantômas" wrote in message ...

Hi "Fantômas", Perhaps this is what you are looking for: Control Panel [Performance and Maintenance] Administrative Tools \Local Security Policy \Security Settings \Local Policies \User Rights Assignment \Change the system time Change the system time This user right determines which users and groups can change the time and date on the internal clock of the computer. Users that are assigned this user right can affect the appearance of event logs. If the system time is changed, events that are logged will reflect this new time, not the actual time that the events occurred. This user right is defined in the Default Domain Controller Group Policy object (GPO) and in the local security policy of workstations and servers. Default: On workstations and servers: Administrators Power Users On domain controllers: Administrators Server Operators - - - Limited Users under the above scheme, when trying to access the Date and Time Properties would get this message: "You do not have the proper privilege level to change the System Time." I don't see a way with the above policy to grant access to the clock and calendar settings, without also granting modification privileges. It appears to be all or nothing. If all you need is a SysTray Calendar, here are some options: QuickMonth Calendar Freeware download from SnapFiles http://www.snapfiles.com/get/quickmonth.html [Claims no Adware or Spyware within. My NOD32 AV scan was clean.] Calendar that Runs In the System Tray http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.asp?ID=950 [Instructive for Visual Basic programmers.] 100 Google Search results for Systray Calendar: http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=systray+calendar HTH. (Hope This Helps. --Richard |
