It is not a simple task to do.  You have to understand how NT's security
model works and how to manipulate it correctly.  Even then, in order to
access the HKCU key, you need to know which user account to get the tokens
for, and grabbing the current username from a service is equally a difficult
task to perform.  However, if you are only modifying the key for a specific
user each time, than LogonUser() is going to be the simpliest way to go.

No, there is not, not from the service's perspective anyway.  A service
running under the LocalSystem account runs under its own separate
workstation from the one the user is logging in to.  It runs independantly
of the user's login session, and in fact is already running before the user
even has a chance to log in.

Then it will have full access to the file system.
