NT registry Permission problem

[Thien Vu]

I have confirmed that I have the same problem with non-admin users. Does 
anyone know of a fix for this problem?? It prevents several of my users from 
having any preferences saved, setting a default printer and other several 
critical issues.

Seems to be a very serious problem. I ran regedt32 and looked at the 
permissions on HKEY_CURRENT_USERS hive, and Everyone has READ permission, 
but only System and the Local Administrator has FULL CONTROL. I will try to 
set this hive to allow Everyone to have FULL CONTROL because this hive gets 
dumped back to the NTUSER.DAT file in the profiles right??
