How do I restrict access to a remote registry?

Start the registry editor (regedt32.exe)

Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurePipeServers

Check for a key called winreg. If it does not exist create it (Edit -Add Key)

Select the winreg key (by clicking on it)

From the Security menu select permissions

Click the Add button and give the user you want read access

Once added, click on the user and select "Special Access"

Double click on the user and you can select which actions the user can perform

Click OK when finished
