I am working on a windows 2000 network.
I have an app that writes to the registry
the only way to get this app to run is to give the users admin rights. How can I set permissions on the registry so the users
can run this app with out giving them admin rights. I,ve tried to set the rights through group policy
computer configuation/security/registry/add key however this didn't work. any suggestions

run regedt32.exe.
then go to hkey-localmachine\software\softwarename and give them full access to folders and subfolders.

If that still doesn't work I give the users temporary admin rights so they can install the program (just to create the nessesary entries), after installing I remove the admin rights.

You can contact also the support section of the manufacturer's program in order to solve this, they should know what to do.
