Windows 7 How to Resolve Registry Permission Issues for User Logon Scripts

Source: WshShell.RegWrite

How can allow Users to write the key. The keys will only go into HKEY_CURRENT_ USER

The system is NOT joined to a domain.

The reason I do this is I have quite a few users that use my system.

Thanks
