Does HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE apply to everyone that logs into the PC?

[Kelvin]

I'm adding a "ODBC Data Source" entry 10143 to that looks like this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\10143].
Is this entry supposed to apply to everyone that logs into the PC?
If not is there some other way to create a "ODBC Data Source" that will
apply to anyone that used the PC?

I'm running MS SQL Server 2005, on XP Pro SP2 machines

This is the complete registry entry
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\10143]
"Driver"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\SQLSRV32.dll"
"Description"="Live Test Data"
"Server"="data.adomain.com,2000"
"Database"="C10143"
"Language"="us_english"
"LastUser"="10143"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thanks

Kelvin
