Thanks but I need this done for all the users , not just the current user. - Vickyw 6 years ago

So target the 32-bit part of the registry, not the 64-bit part. - anonymous_9363 6 years ago
Either by
- Using Packaging techniques and creating an MST file. MST contains the CU registry settings and any additional changes. If the base MSI has an advertised shortcut, then set entry as keypath to trigger self heal. Otherwise Active Setup might be required.
- Using Active Directory Group Policy.
- Script deployment
You don't indicate what deployment tool your organisation uses. Some deployment tools have the ability to create deployments/scripts and run as the "logged on user" or "current user" as opposed to system account. Obviously in order for this to work the users need to have permissons to the registry.

Hi There Thanks a lot. My organisation uses SCCM for deployment.
I opened up the msi file using Orca however could not find any table/entry related to "Start Tips".
Can you please provide further advise?

Yeah the “enable Tips”entry doesn’t exist within the MSI, thus why you need to create a new transform (MST) which contains the entry. (Never directly change the vendor MSI, always create a transform file)
Unless your familiar with Orca and know your way around the tables it can be a bit daunting. However adding HKCU entries has been covered here before –

Alternatively, your organisation uses SCCM. As previously indicated, if the users have permissions to the registry. Why not create a package, which runs a script to apply the CU registry settings, Run mode set to“Run with user’s rights”
Good Luck!
