Windows 7: Cannot modify some DCOM services settings – help!

I have Windows 7 beta running on my machine. I need to change some settings of IIS WAMREG admin service. Although I am logged in as administrator and I started dcomcnfg under administrative permissions I am not able to modify security settings. What may be the problem?

Good old The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {61738644-F196-11D0-9953-00C04FD919C1} ... error is the problem I'm trying to resolve.

Editing is not disabled for all component services. There are some services I can configure. I also checked out what’s going on with local group policy and it made me no smarter.

The "dcomperm.exe" program *may* help you here.  It gives you a command-line interface to update these settings.

See this for more details:

You can modify some settings in the registry, just elevate your privlidges there. But be warned, when I set startup to disabled windows booted to a black screen with a cursor.
