Remotely edit current user registry (WXP-Pro)

[homeflash]

Is it possible to remote edit current user registry. When I do the regedit, I only can see hk_localmachine and hk_users, but not current user. Anyway, besides doing a remote control of the pc (VNC,pcanywhere). I just want to remotely change that registry. Possible?

The current user will be one of those long SIDs listed under HK_Users.

I'm not sure it is the most efficient way to find out, but to determine which SID is the currently logged on user match the username you see in HKLM\software\Microsoft\windows NT\currentversion\winlogon and the string DefaultUserName with the user name you see in HK_Users\&lt;SID&gt;\software\microsoft\windows\cu rrentversion\explorer\shell folders.

psgetsid is ideal for matching SID to logon
