Each user has its' user registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER). Do you realy need to write to system registry(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)? If so, probably you should write a service, not just an application. You can run it under LocalSystem account and allow it to interact with desktop. Implement systray icon so users will be able to invoke your application using an icon near system clock.

P.S. Maybe you should store information in a file accessible by all users?

Here's a dummy question! What excactly a registry key do? what is the difference between an application that doesn 't have registry entries?

Registry keys are just used to store info for your computer and software. Almost all your settings are stored in them even your passwords, though they are encrypted/hashed. :D
