Right. That's on purpose! Users should not be able to modify their policy
settings, otherwise Group Policy would be fairly useless J

 

I'm curious why you want users to be able to modify these settings?

I would of thought so too, and thought this task would be a no brainer,
check HCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Communicator on a XP SP2 build, it is
definitely set to read only for the user.

That doesn't sound right. If it is in HKCU the user should (by default) be
able to modify it.

All, 

Is there a way to configure permissions on registry key in the HKCU hive?  I
want to run a startup script that modifies a key in this hive from the user
portion of the GPO, but the user only has read only access to it by default.
Any ideas?

TIA, 

Brad
