If your users have sufficient local access rights then you
can do it with this command:
regedit -s xxx.reg

If they don't then you will need to do it from your console,
using psexec.exe (www.sysinternals.com).

Howdy JAQK!

What's the most practical tool for doing this in a Win2K3/Win2K environment?

If you're working with a domain and you're likely to chance that same
setting more often you could write yourself a custom group policy-ADM
template file:
See here: http://www.oreilly.de/catalog/winsyspe/chapter/ch08.html

Another possibility would be a simple startup/logon script via GP, that
overrides registry settings via
"regedit -s <filename>"

cheers,

Florian

Hello,
I would say the easiest way to do this is using a startup script within a
policy or write a custom administrative template and use within a group
policy.
