The behaviour you're observing is due the the order in which things
happen.  The user's profile is only downloaded and activated AFTER the
logon script has executed - so if you run regedit.exe in the logon script,
it does change the registry, but the changes are overwritten by the user's
profile when it's downloaded from the server afterwards.

I haven't really spent time trying to find a solution though - the Run and
RunOnce etc registry entries are also executed too soon it seems so right
now the only way I could think of to automatically run regedit after the
profile has been loaded, is to put it in the Startup folder, but I haven't
tested this.
