Registry Key for Sharing Missing

[ktoth04]

I am trying to set up sharing to my PS3 and the registry key described as such
[http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/webhelp/default.aspx?&mpver=11.0.6002.18111&id=C00D0FF4&contextid=233&originalid=C00D0FF4]

Confirm that you have ownership of the Windows Media Player Network Sharing
Services registry subkey.

To confirm ownership of the registry subkey

Click Start.

Type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

Navigate to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences\HME\[security
ID] subkey. The name text of the security ID folder is long, composed of
alphanumeric characters broken up with dashes.

Right-click the [security ID] folder, and then click Permissions.

Confirm your user account is listed as an owner of this subkey on the
Security tab. If your account name is not listed, click Add and add it to the
list of owners. You will need to be logged on as an administrator or a member
of the Administrator's group to perform this step.

Is missing from my machine. Now, I was going to create it, but have no idea
what the Security ID would be, and no idea how to find it. I'm running
11.0.6002.18111 on Vista 64bit.

and choose "Run as Administrator" to be able to set the permissions

Right-click that. Is your Username listed, the one which you'd login
to the PC using ? If not, click Add... then in the text box, type your
user name on the PC (e.g. ktoth) and click Check Names button

OK out of that, then check the "Full Control" box in the permissions
list at the bottom of the registry key permissions
