Invoke-HKCURegistrySettingsForAllUsers
SYNOPSIS
Set current user registry settings for all current users and any new users in the future.
SYNTAX
Invoke-HKCURegistrySettingsForAllUsers [-RegistrySettings] <ScriptBlock> [[-UserProfiles] <PSObject[]>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
Set HKCU registry settings for all current and future users by loading their NTUSER.dat registry hive file, and making the modifications.
This function will modify HKCU settings for all users even when executed under the SYSTEM account.
To ensure new users in the future get the registry edits, the Default User registry hive used to provision the registry for new users is modified.
This function can be used as an alternative to using ActiveSetup for registry settings.
The advantage of using this function over ActiveSetup is that a user does not have to log off and log back on before the changes take effect.
