i want to change it for the current user instead of local machine. how to change it and get the changes reflected immediately.

Also i used process monitor to scan for the changes, GUID were involved in HKCU. so what could be best api to call to make the changes

There is no current user or per local user policy, its at machine level. You can apply the GPO via machine or via user, but will apply to the computer itself, not a user.

Its a switch that alter the behavior of the menu for all users.

If you are on an Active Directory network, you can apply this GPO to the user, so will apply when that user logs to the machine. but other users not. But again, its a local machine GPO applied when the user logs in.
