Typically, a user or an application running under the user's credentials can write to the HKCU portion of the Registry. If you're running NTFS, you may need to give the Users group write/modify permissions for the application folder in question. If you find that a program is trying to write to the Registry, and can't, because of the user's account status, you can adjust the permissions in the registry as well.
