NativeServices.RegistrySetUserValues

Method	RegistrySetUserValues
Module	NativeServices
Library	Core
Action	Sets a registry value for every user under HKU. This will create the value and any key hierarchy required.
Parameters	`Subkey` (string): The registry key to look for.
	`Name` (string): The name of the registry value to set.
	`Value` (string): The value that will be set.
	`ValueType` (string): One of these supported types: "`REG_SZ`", "`REG_EXPAND_SZ`", "`REG_BINARY`", "`REG_DWORD`", "`REG_QWORD`", "`REG_MULTI_SZ`".
	`UsersOnly` (bool, optional, default `false`): Set values only for keys representing "real" users (and not for keys representing system pseudo-users such as Local System nor groups).
Return values	`Status` (string): The status of the key; "`Set value`" or "`Created key and set value`" as appropriate.
	`Sid` (string): SID the value was found under.
	`Username` (string): Domain\Username of the aforementioned SID.
Example	NativeServices.RegistrySetUserValues(Subkey:"test\\test2", Name:"temporaryStringValue", Value:"no need for concern", ValueType:"REG_SZ");
Platforms	Windows
Notes	Unlike most registry methods, the 8192 limit is not imposed because doing so would leave the system in an inconsistent state (some users would have the value, others not), and in practice it is highly unlikely that any system would have that many users. A REG_BINARY `Value` is a string of hex digits, e.g. "`546F6D`". Upper, lower or mixed case can be used. If information is retrieved from the `.DEFAULT` key or a `_Classes` key, the `Username` will be reported as "`Unknown`". It is possible to determine the owner of a `_Classes` key from the SID that precedes it (which will have a correct `Username`). Warning This method may attempt to call AD to translate a SID to a username.
