Here is a script I just wrote that will create an active setup registry key. It prompts you for the title, description, command line execution string, and version. It generates a unique GUID to name the registry key. It then generates the registry key file and places it in the same directory as the script was executed from.
You can download the script from here.

Synopsis: This will generate the active setup registry key to
deploy to machines so it iterates through every user that
logs onto a machine.
Description: This will prompt for the title, brief description, version, and
command line execution string. It then generates the .reg file
and places it in the same directory as the script was executed from.
