how to install a simple fix script to a dozen computers using psexec

I am just trying how to use psexec, but I still don't understand how
does it work on local accounts and how can I modify HKLU values in
registry.

I would like to run a simple fix .bat file on computers in a local
workgroup, the script would modify some values in HKLU, copy some
files, etc., with no GUI.

I am puzzled by the HKLU part. As far as I understand I can either get
the SID of the user using psgetsid and change the reg file not to use
HKLU but find the proper value in HKEY_USER\SID... but I don't know
how to do it.

My other idea is to let a batch script run on startup for all users.
This way I don't have to take care about different SID values. How
would you make a simple \\server\share\batchfile.bat run for every
user on startup? And copy a .lnk file into the All Users\Start Menu
\Starup directory? Or to modify the autostart registry?

I could figure out things to this point, but I cannot go further.
Where shell I set autoruns for all users? Do you think this one would
work?

psexec \\server -u administrator -p password regedit /s \\server\share
\fix_startup.reg

----- fix_startup.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"fix"="\\server\share\fix.bat"
-----

Is there any way to start that bat file in a specified working dir
from the registry, e.g. in "\\server\share\" ?

Sorry, two fixes, HKLU -> HKCU.
I realized psgetsid is for totally different purposes, I was looking
for HK_USERS\S-1-5... string.
