Subj : Registry Question

I can see I'm in the correct group of people for this question.

I was recently assisting a local school which just had a new computer
network installed. They had a game (educational software) which they
were trying to use on every computer and it could not find database
files.

In further investigation, there was a registry key each USER needed to
access the database files from the cd-rom.  It was a key in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

I had no idea how to add this registry key to each users file
automatically , so I rigged up something on each computer's startup and
I'm going to go remove it on Friday, after every student (over 400) log
in throughout the week.

For now, they're required to answer "yes , I'd like to enter this
information into the registry" every time they logon.  I cheap solution,
but hey, it got the job done.

How can I take several (over 300) user files and have a registry entry
entered into all of them?

I know there are other keys that require this type of interface as well,
so I'm sure this is not a new problem?

Thanks!
