>>No logged in user other than Administrator can set their default options for VFP 9. Even those other accounts designated as Administrators, or Domain Admins. This is true whether or not they are logged in under Terminal Services, or on the console. Unfortunately, the other profiles do not inherit their defaults from that account. So far, I have found no way to set them.

If you start REGEDIT, select your key, and right click on it and choose "Permissions..." does everyone or the groups that need access to it have the ability to update it (Full Control)?
