To edit a registry value for all users using PowerShell, you will need to modify the registry key located in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive. Here are the steps:

  1. Open PowerShell as an administrator:
    Click the Start menu and search for "PowerShell". Right-click on the "Windows PowerShell" result and select "Run as administrator".

  2. Navigate to the desired registry key:
    Use the cd HKLM:\ command to navigate to the root of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive, and then use the cd command to navigate to the desired registry key. For example, to navigate to the Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System key, you would use the following command:

    bash
    cd HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
  3. Set the registry value:
    Use the Set-ItemProperty cmdlet to set the desired registry value. For example, to set the EnableLUA value to 0 (disabled), you would use the following command:

    mathematica
    Set-ItemProperty -Path . -Name EnableLUA -Value 0

    This will set the EnableLUA value to 0 for all users on the system.

  4. Exit PowerShell:
    Once you have set the registry value, type exit to close PowerShell.

By following these steps, you can edit a registry value for all users using PowerShell. Note that editing registry values can be risky and can cause system instability if done incorrectly, so be sure to make a backup of the registry before making any changes.
