Local Registry key

[Jake Reese]

I am attempting to set a Group Policy that allows a user to modify a
specific key in their workstation's registry. I have a poorly coded
application that needs to write the user name to the local registry
prior to loading. I do not want my users to be powerusers or
administrators. I have tried adding the key to the computer
configuration-windows settings-registry in a group policy and applying
the policy. It does not seem to work,even though the security is set
to allow everyone to edit the registry setting. Any help would be
appreciated.

Hello Jake,
You'll need to run regmon to see all the keys your app touches and modify
the permissions accordingly.
