SE_OBJECT_TYPE enumeration
The SE_OBJECT_TYPE enumeration contains values that correspond to the types of Windows objects that support security. The functions, such as GetSecurityInfo and SetSecurityInfo, that set and retrieve the security information of an object, use these values to indicate the type of object.

Constants
| SE_UNKNOWN_OBJECT_TYPE | Unknown object type. |
| SE_FILE_OBJECT | Indicates a file or directory. The name string that identifies a file or directory object can be in one of the following formats:
|
| SE_SERVICE | Indicates a Windows service. A service object can be a local service, such as ServiceName, or a remote service, such as \ComputerName<i>ServiceName. |
| SE_PRINTER | Indicates a printer. A printer object can be a local printer, such as PrinterName, or a remote printer, such as \ComputerName<i>PrinterName. |
| SE_REGISTRY_KEY | Indicates a registry key. A registry key object can be in the local registry, such as CLASSES_ROOT<i>SomePath or in a remote registry, such as \ComputerName<b>CLASSES_ROOT<i>SomePath. The names of registry keys must use the following literal strings to identify the predefined registry keys: "CLASSES_ROOT", "CURRENT_USER", "MACHINE", and "USERS". |
| SE_LMSHARE | Indicates a network share. A share object can be local, such as ShareName, or remote, such as \ComputerName<i>ShareName. |
| SE_KERNEL_OBJECT | Indicates a local kernel object. The GetSecurityInfo and SetSecurityInfo functions support all types of kernel objects. The GetNamedSecurityInfo and SetNamedSecurityInfo functions work only with the following kernel objects: semaphore, event, mutex, waitable timer, and file mapping. |
| SE_WINDOW_OBJECT | Indicates a window station or desktop object on the local computer. You cannot use GetNamedSecurityInfo and SetNamedSecurityInfo with these objects because the names of window stations or desktops are not unique. |
| SE_DS_OBJECT | Indicates a directory service object or a property set or property of a directory service object. The name string for a directory service object must be in X.500 form, for example: CN=SomeObject,OU=ou2,OU=ou1,DC=DomainName,DC=CompanyName,DC=com,O=internet |
| SE_DS_OBJECT_ALL | Indicates a directory service object and all of its property sets and properties. |
| SE_PROVIDER_DEFINED_OBJECT | Indicates a provider-defined object. |
| SE_WMIGUID_OBJECT | Indicates a WMI object. |
| SE_REGISTRY_WOW64_32KEY | Indicates an object for a registry entry under WOW64. |
| SE_REGISTRY_WOW64_64KEY |
