Access another user's HKEY_CURRENT_USER Registry branch

I am looking for a way to access the registry of other users on a computer so I can copy them.

"you can use regedit for this. Open regedit and select HKEY_USERS then go to File->Load Hive. Browse to the users Hive file, usually NTUSER.DAT located at %userprofile%.

This of course requires you to be admin or have access to the users hive file."

Use regedit, if you have administrative rights to the remote computer you can select File... Connect Network Registry, and type the name or search for the computer that you want to connect to.
