Restriction of User Capabilities doesn't work

Post by Gerardo Bocanera »

Hi All,

I'm trying to restrict User Capabilities through the REGEDIT settings as explained at the Help Menu, but it doesn't work.
Can anybody tell me if these information is up to date?

I just followed the instructions to create the key in the registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 5\Policy

PS: My vesion of TextPad is 6.1.3 (32 bits) and SO is Windows 7.

Thank!

The help file is not up to date, but the following key works for version 6:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 6\Policy

Hi ak47wong,

Thanks for your reply, but even so, it does not work, at least in my PC.

Could you please send me an screenshot of your REGEDIT entry to this email address: gbocanera@hotmail.com?

Thank you very much

Kind regards.

I tested it on another computer running XP SP3 and it worked there, but on the computer I'm using now, which runs Vista SP2, it doesn't. Sorry, I don't know why. I've got TP 6.1 on both machines. I'll send you a screenshot anyway.
