Default changing a registry key to all SID's

Hi all,
I made a .reg file.
the key that i intend to change is located inside a user SID.

(EX:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2018322775-1434109735-2322020850-500\AppEvents\EventLabels\.Default)

how can i make the change to all users, (disgarding the SID) withe a .reg
file ?

thanks,
oren.

You can't. When you see HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-201........... that =
indicates that this user account is specifically logged into the =
computer. Users that aren't logged on won't appear here. For example, =
if you're the only user logged on, then your SID will be listed in =
HKEY_USERS, and is really just a different name for HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

What you can do is change your REG file to point to =
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\AppEvents\EventLabels\.Default, then place a shortcut =
in Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup that =
runs:

REGEDIT /S your reg file

This will force the REG file to be entered, silently, when the user logs =
on.

You could also place this command in the Registry at =
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run.

Note: If you have disabled Registry editing for a user, then they're =
account will not be able to import the REG file. In this case, a VB =
Script would be more appropriate.

Hi

You can do this if using a script instead of a reg file, by enumerating
all user profiles on the computer, and loading the individual user's
registry hive and then do the registry change. You can use the command
line tool reg.exe that comes builtin with WinXP to do both the hive
loading and the registry change.

But if one of your suggestion is acceptable for oren, they are easier
to implement ;-)

Hi

The reg.exe method works when implemented correctly, but it
is a bit tricky.
