For registry access, you can install the Remote Registry Service for Win9x machines.  This allows you to control and 
edit the registry for a computer remotely.  Worked great when we needed it in our 500+ user network.

But if Registry editing is disabled on the machine for that user through
system policies, then how do you disable it through registry?  And what
editor are you talking about?  I don't know what you are referring too,
but please enlighten us, because if there is a way to do it, I want to
know.

Regards,
Spencer

All I need to disable any policy is an editor and regedit.
