NT installs by default with Everyone given write access to much of the
registry. To see just how much, use the Somar DumpAcl program. This is a
major problem because the registry on any machine running NT, both servers
and workstations, can be accessed remotely using Registry Editor. So a
user running on some workstation can modify the registry on any server or
workstation on which this user has an account (normally this means all
servers), or on which the guest account is enabled.

i think Microsoft had intoduced service packs for fixing this up coz there is no one so stupid who can start using a fresh instalation as server.
one more thing MS had also inttroduced group policies from NT so just change one which say that access registry editon and whola it got fixed but when ever you want to use it you have to unblock it
third thing id windows script so just do some for guest or the user you want to block access to any particular program
any ways nice info
