HKEY_CURRENT_USER will never be accessable to you remotely. What you can do though is go through HKEY_USERS and remove the data from there. If it's something that you're afraid that HKCU will save back to HKU, you can have your script do what it needs to remotely, then copy a script to the machine and put an entry in HKU\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce and it will be run for each user who logs on to that machine. Might be a better way of approaching it if multiple people log on to one machine, and you don't want to itterate through all the users hives yourself.

Personally, I'd give everyone admin rights. From personal expierence, the time it takes to fix it if they break it is much less than the time it takes to do the piddly things you have to do for them.. and the time it takes to work around them not having admin rights.
