Losing Custom Icons when Scheduled Tasks are Run -- WORKAROUND!

[Keith Miller]

I did some monitoring of the registry. I found that when a scheduled task was run, winlogon.exe
(running as SYSTEM) was executing:

"CreateKey HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Clsid\"

and this was overwriting the info stored there with the info found here:

"HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID\"

The workaround is to modify the permissions for

"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Clsid"

so as to deny SYSTEM Set Value permissions. The nice part is, you don't have to deny yourself any
permissions and can customize the icons & apply saved themes as normal.
