Like I said in my original post, this doesn't work. An error message appears saying ""Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes."

I already tried creating a *.reg file but a normal user cannot update those specific registry keys. How are people going to visit hundreds of machines where normal users don't have local administrator access? What a nightmare.
You don't have to.
Log on as Administrator. Look for the registry key and create a *.reg-file for it.
Go create a Group Policy startup script (under CompConf\...) which will run under the SYSTEM-account and have sufficient rights to make the changes at the registry.
Deploy the registry key within a script via regedit /s whatever.reg

You didn't say in your original post that you deployed it by running a startup script. The error message is generic, as it says, some keys MAY be open. It also may just mean you don't have permissions. Since the startup script runs with the necessary rights to write to the registry, that should solve the permissions issue without having to make all of your users administrators. Most registry keys are not left "open" for an entire session, but are opened just long enough to read or write a value. Are you now saying that you have tried this by running a .reg file from a startup script?
