How about adding it to a login script (temporarily)?  You can use
regedit from the commad line (even in real mode if you need to), with
the following options (taken from a reskit):

REGEDIT /L:system /R:user filename 

	L:system is optional and specifies the location of the 
	System.dat file. 

	/R:user is also optional and specifies the location of the 
	User.dat file. 

	Filename is the name of the registry file that will be 
	imported. 

For example, the following command will import the contents of
Global.reg into User.dat and System.dat: 

REGEDIT /L:C:\Windows\ /R:C:\Windows\Profiles\ A:\Global.reg 

And AFAICR there is also a /S switch that provides for 'silent'
merges.
