Command line tool for Restricting Registry hive in windows Vista?

There is really no need to do this on Windows Vista. From the root of HKM,
only SYSTEM and local administrators have full access; everyone else has
read-only access. Removing read-only access will put the system in an
unsupported state -- meaning we haven't tested this configuration, and can't
predict how the computer will behave.

Also, you say that you've used lcacls for folder restriction. What changes
have you made? Again, there is no reason to change the default ACLs; doing
so will create the same potential problems for you.
