How do i access another user’s registry portion in win XP?
how do i access another user’s HKey_current_user on my machine, in vb2005 or if someone can recommend a software that can already do it.
Im trying to make a quick registry repair tool to fix a damaged or corrupted user
First, you can’t, if roaming profiles are enabled the other user’s registry on your machine may be incomplete or outdated.
Having said that you can use HKEY_USERS\user-sid
Obviously you have to run as administrator to access other users data.

To translate from name to SID look at this: Unique identifier for user profiles in Windows
