The Administrator HKCU hive is different than HKCU hive with the account
that has limited privileges. Basically when you are logged in the Admin
account you are editing the Administrator's HKCU hive.
Try logging as the Admin then load the user hive with the limited
privileges, then change what ever you need to change in the limited user
account hive. The user's hive will be located here:
document and settings\<limited username>\ntuser.dat
