Abstract
A computer device performs operations for managing registry access, including monitoring a user process on the computer device and, in response, establishing a set of registry access rules relevant to the user process. Each registry operation requested by the user process is evaluated and, in response, an appropriate action determined. Such action suitably includes at least one of: blocking the registry operation in relation to a particular key in a registry of the operating system, and enabling access to a particular key in the registry of the operating system to perform the requested registry operation. In particular, the operations may be performed using a registry filter driver in a kernel mode of an operating system of the computer device.
