Regedit as Current User

1

I'm trying to apply a registry fix for an Outlook/O365 issue on a user's account. The issue is that "regedit" is blocked by a domain GPO. I'm able to run "gpedit" using the local admin account.

Question : When I run "regedit as the local admin, am I modifying the registry for the local admin user or the domain user who's actually logged onto the workstation?

I'm trying to apply the following fix:

Also, the path for the above mentioned registry should end in " \Preferences" which is what I'm unable to locate. I'm able to navigate up until \Outlook.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Running Outlook 2010.

When you run the registry as the local admin, HKEY_CURRENT_USER will be that of the local admin, not the other user. However, you can still load the hive of another user.

I think that usually you don't to load keys of other users on the local machine - they're already there under HKEY_USERS. – EliadTech – 2014-06-05T05:24:24.480
