Hi, I just want to know if making a registry change on 1 user account also takes place in other user accounts?

there are 4 user accounts, all with Admin privilages on a normal house computer.

I made a registry change on my account but also want the registry to change on the other accounts.

Thanks

Note: I can't go into the other accounts as they belong to my bro and sis adn they won't let me access them as they are password protected :grr:

    Depends on the hive that you make the change in:

    HKLM/ (Local Machine) - change affects the computer
    HKCU/ (Current User) - Change affects the user you are logged in as

    You can't see (thus can't change) HKCU entries for other users. Basic security.
