Network access: Remotely accessible registry paths and subpaths

This security setting determines which registry paths and subpaths can be accessed over the network, regardless of the users or groups listed in the access control list (ACL) of the winreg registry key.

Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Print

Caution

Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.

Note: On Windows XP, this security setting was called "Network access: Remotely accessible registry paths." If you configure this setting on a member of the Windows Server 2003 family that is joined to a domain, this setting is inherited by computers running Windows XP, but will appear as the "Network access: Remotely accessible registry paths" security option.
