There is no such registry hive as "local user". It's either
KHEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Since you describe access denied problems, I'll assume that you
want the users to modify a key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (users
normally do have write permissions to their own profile in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER).
You can open the registry with regedt32 and change the permissions
on individual registry keys.
But is this really what you want? Since all users will be writing
to the same key, the last user to logon will "win"!
