You could do it with a login script, but to do it to HKLM you would the user
would need admin rights. If you apply it to HKCU it will be fine.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]
"ForceGuest"=dword:00000001

Save that as a .reg file and use reg.exe to apply it with a login script.
