Does the VBS script have more high priority than registry restrictions?
No. But if Registry Editing has been disabled in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTool
you cannot use regedit.exe to change the setting.
If a user tries to start a registry editor while the value of this entry is
1, a message appears explaining that a policy prevents the action.
If XP Pro, Group Policy (gpedit.msc)..
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\
Disable registry editing tools
[[Disables the Windows registry editors, Regedit.exe and Regedt32.exe.
If this setting is enabled and the user tries to start a registry editor, a
message appears explaining that a setting prevents the action.
To prevent users from using other administrative tools, use the "Run only
allowed Windows applications" setting. ]]
Regedt32.exe is a small program that just runs Regedit.exe.
You Have to use a script or a reg.exe.
