Subinacl Access Denied using subkeyreg
I have windows 7 x86, I am the only user and Administrator of my pc.
I want to be able to take ownership of the key(below) but subinacl will not allow it.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001EnumUSBSTOR
The error is: RegSetKeySecurity Error: 5 Access is denied.
I've tried to launch it with an elevated command line and it still says error 5.
Two question:
Why is it doing this?
How to take ownership of this key? I would like to use subinacl if possible. But I am open minded to other tools as long as they can be used from the command line.

Why do you need to take ownership of that key?

@Randolph West I want to delete every subkey within it but it won't let me. Besides, I want to know why it doesn't work. It works if set the permissions manually from regedit.

You have to take ownership of the registry key before you can change its permissions (you should set the ownership back afterwards).
Hmm, I could have sworn you can use the takeown command to take ownership of a registry key, but it looks like you can’t.
Instead, depending on the version of Windows you use you can use the cacls command, icacls, or xcalcs (update with a VB script), or even a third-party tool like RegDACL.
(cacls and icacls come with Windows 7)

Use the commands below with SetACL with administrative privileges:
set X="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001EnumUSBSTOR"
SetACL.exe -on %X% -ot reg -rec cont_obj -actn setowner -ownr "n:Everyone"
SetACL.exe -on %X% -ot reg -rec cont_obj -actn ace -ace "n:Everyone;p:full"
