..and what is the problem that resulted in this? I see this kind of thing when an application developer decides that the way to get entries populated for each user is have the install do it, ignoring the difficulties and the fact that they won't be there if a new user arrives. You could target HKCU and have Windows install the entries on demand, but that's often unpopular.
