Services settings are in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key in the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE applies to the whole machine and not to individual users.
So I do not think that you can make changes for services that apply to
individual users.
Use HKEY_CURRENT_USER startup program settings for per user settings.
I.e. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Use %userprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder for program startups
per user.
Do not use C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
or %allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup startups in this folder
start regardless of who logs on. I.e C:\Documents and Settings\User
Name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Use the program settings for each individual user while that user is logged
on.
Use a 3rd party program for setting startup items per user.
[[StartMan is an extended 'msconfig' Startup Manager, designed to take
control of all those pesky programs and background services that load and
run at logon - most of which you probably don't need. As well as providing
the usual trouble-shooting options to enable or disable startups, StartMan
also permits the removal of startups.
Duplicate Detection and Removal, a unique feature of StartMan, can be
configured to remove all duplicates automatically, with or without
prompting.
Orphan Detection and Removal. As above, for orphaned startups.
Executable Detection and Removal. As above, for executables.
Includes a full range of sorting options to make it easier to locate a
specific startup - by name, by filename - even by command line parameter! ]]

Startup Control Panel is another pretty good application.
[[Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you to
easily configure which programs run when your computer starts. It's simple
to use and, like all my programs, is very small and won't burden your
system. A valuable tool for system administrators!]]
Download the EXE Version and just extract the executable wherever you want.
