This key is where we write various other keys and values for the modules that make up our software. To Date our users have been using Win 9x but are now moving to NT 4 SP 6. We have discovered, pre-release, that the keys we create under one user cannot even be read by other users. I require all users to read/write the same values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE but cannot find any documentation on the security attributes.

Are they readable after exiting and logging in a second time as the same user (complete Windows login/logout) if so, then are the systems using roaming hives, segments of the registry that will follow a user from machine to machine?
