Anyone know how to run a vbs script that writes to the registry? I don't want to have to log in to each workstation as administrator. I just want to use the local user account already logged in with elevated rights.

No, but you can 'Run as' on the regedit exe file and then import a .reg file.
must be careful where in the registry you are trying to write to though - current user stuff WON'T work as you will be updating the current user of the ELEVATED user NOT the logged in user.

You may consider runas and using SendKeys for the password.
