Well wind0ws 2000 has six inbuilt account groups
Administrators
Power Users
Back up Operators
Users
. . . . . and
Guest


When u create a new account in windows 2000 , it is placed by default in the User group , so i want members of this group to have "full control" over registry keys created by my app , in HKLM

Somebody please help

Ah, why didn't you say "user group" instead of "user account" in the first place

In answer to your question, it is possible but requires the use of the security api function. Unfortunately these are some of the more arcance functions in the API. I haven't the time to run up an example for you, however you should use MSDN to check out these functions:

RegSetKeySecurity
SetEntriesInACL

Of course, you need to be able to open the key to set these ACEs so your program will need to be run from an administrative account first in order to set the necessary access.
