Win XP Registry Editing

G

Guest

We are running Win XP SP 2. Our users need to be able to run a script that
changes the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE

We have given our users full control under this register key, but still
receive the messgae "registry editing have been disabled by your admin"
message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
