[AccessD] OT:Registry question (Cross-posted to dba-Tech)

You can temporary load the full user registry file (NTUSER.DAT in
regedt32) when logged on as administrator.

Log in as administrator

Run regedt32 
Select HKEY_USERS
Click File >> load Hive 
Browse to the NTUSER.DAT file of that specific user
Open it
Give it a clear Temporary name like
TEMP_{name_of_user}

You will see a key added called TEMP_{name_of_user}
Make your changes....

IMPORTANT ** You need to unload the hive when finished.
Select the key TEMP_{name_of_user}
Click file >> unload Hive

And thats it...

I translated from dutch so I'm not sure if the menu name is load Hive or
Component....

I've posted this on dba-Tech but copying here for wider coverage. I'd
appreciate it if answers were to dba-Tech or, if you aren't subbbed to
that (and don't want to), to me off-list.

W2K as usual. I want to edit the registry to lock down some
functionality for a specific user on a machine. I feel, howeverr, that
I'm in a tricky situation. AFAIK I can only edit a user's settings
whilst logged on as them (i.e. via HKCU). So I have to make sure that
that user can do a regedit. One of the reg changes I want is to remove
the Run from the Start Menu. I can do that but once I do that how will I
ever be able to get back in to change that user's reg settings? By
definition if they can't edit the registry then neither can I when
logged on as them. But neither can I edit HKCU for THEM when logged on
as ME. Any ideas?
