Set Registry Key to Full Control for group Users

I need to set permissions on a new registry key to Full Control for the group name Users. I know which permissions to choose. But my install package is failing. I think I am getting the group name wrong.
Instructions talk about a group called Everyone but our Windows XP machines have a group instead called Users

Is this possible? I want every user no matter what to be able to have Full Control permissions on this registry key.

Re: Set Registry Key to Full Control for group Users

Hi,

Permissions can be set for the group "Users". However, this group is localized for each OS language. Therefore, this group is named "Users" only on an English Windows version. Please note that you can use the "Everyone" tag instead. This will set the permissions for all users, not just for the "Users" group.
