Register BHO (or dashboard) for each user at HKCU

Can IE BHO (or toolbar) register at HKCU level (instead of HKLM)? I found some conflicting information and my personal tests have failed. So a pointer to a specific answer would be great. Is the location in HKCU different from HKLM, or is it simple and simply not feasible?

I'm also glad if this is only doable for a specific version of IE (e.g. IE9 + only or similar). This discussion seems to indicate that this is not possible, but from 1.5 years ago.

First you need to register your BHO with HKLM .

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\{GUID}
DEFAULT='Your BHOName'
NoExplorer=1


And then put your bho specific dll data in HKCR instead of HKLM .

HKCR\CLSID\{GUID}\
HKCR\CLSID\{GUID}\Programmable
HKCR\CLSID\{GUID}\InprocServer32
HKCR\CLSID\{GUID}\TypeLib
HKCR\CLSID\{GUID}\Version
