Regedit setting   

Hi I am instaling a software that it need a specific setting in 
Hkey_current_user, however, the install do it, but when I start with other 
user, this setting is not  avaliable.  This PC work with a multiples users 
and every users need this setting, I do not want run the file registry by 
each user, only run it once  and the setting to be same for everybody.

I want to know if it  is posible setting in other Registry's part.

Thanks for your help.

RE: Regedit setting   

The easy way:
With admin rights create a new account on the local machine that will ALSO 
have admin rights.

Log into that new account locally.

Make the registry change you need.

RESTART the machine.

Log in with the original account again.

RIGHT-click "My Computer" and choose properties.  Click on the Advanced Tab.

Click on the Settings button under User Profiles.

Highlight the profile of the account that you had just created and click on 
the "Copy To" button.

Browse to the c:\documents and settings folder, highlight the Default User 
folder and click OK.

You will be asked to confirm.  Yes.

You can now delete the users profile that you had created.

Don't forget to remove the bogus local account with admin rights that you 
had created.

All users logging into the machine FOR THE FIRST TIME will now have that 
registry key as part of their profile.

RE: Regedit setting   

Perhaps I was a bit unclear.  This will not grant admin rights to the new 
users.  1 step I DID miss, and that may have caused the confusion, after you 
make the registry change on the new admin account, use that account to REMOVE 
ITSELF from the admin group before restarting.

In essence, what this will do is add the needed registry change, and only 
that, to every user that logs into the machine for the first time (thus 
building them a new profile).

RE: Regedit setting   

need more information, what is the software?  Do you have admin rights??  do 
you know anything about registry settings?  if so then make the same setting 
you applied to your HKEY_CURRENT_USER_SOFTWARE...ETC.. make that same change 
to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_SOFTWARE...ETC  
hope that helps.

Re: Regedit setting   

Software installed by a specific user is only availble to that user - check 
to see if installation offers the option of "For this User only" or "for all 
Users". or install via Administrator status  and make available to all Users 
profiles.
