What about saving the Registry to something like Gary.reg and then modifying, running it? I do something like this to avoid some corporate "restrictions" sometimes.

I need a simple config file for them to share and the registry layout seems idea, but since this is network data I need all workstations to see the same file, hence the idea of my own registry.
