You can grant non admins access to the registry by adding an ACE to the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\WinReg key. You have granularity in the access you grant, so you can just dole out read access or allow setting of keys and values as well.

Hi Iso, I can verify the behaviour you're seeing, but I can't explain it. The only thing I've done for non-admins is to access HKCU. Everything else was as an admin. I can't think right now why it is, but somehow it doesn't surprise me that a non-admin can't access a remote registry - actually, that seems like a pretty resonable restriction. I hope somebody can explain it.
