How can I merge a .reg file into the registry while in a user mode (not
administrator)?

By doing this from a Command Prompt:

runas /user:administrator "c:\winnt\system32\regedit.exe /s c:\xxx.reg"

Thanks. Is that the only way to edit the non-admin's registry?

It's the only one that I'm aware of. If you supply specific
details of your requirements, someone else may have
further suggestions.

I downloaded a .reg file from http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/restricted.htm
that will fill in the restricted sites in IE6. I successfully merge that
info under the admin account (which is my default). So I wanted to
incorporate that into IE for the user account as well.

Your ability of importing this depends on the permissions
that are set in the target key. So far you haven't indicated
what that target key is, and what happens when you run
regedit from an ordinary user account. You might try
runas.exe but I'm not sure where exactly the information
would end up.

Reading the reg file it goes into

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
