[dba-Tech] Another Registry question

Yes you can, if you are admin and the user is not logged on.

Pay attention if you are using roaming profiles. 
The user may not be logged on to any computer.
I'm also not sure if roaming profiles will overwrite the localy stored
ntuser.dat when you change it on the server profile folder only.

I did wonder, but answers to previous question conflicted on that point.
Thanks Stuart. I presume that if I use Regedt32 from another W2K machine
I can still navigate to a user's folder and load their hive.
