The RegConnectRegistry() approach seem rather complex. How can I use WNetAddConnection2 instead?

You can use RegistryKey class for this. See: RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey Method (RegistryHive, String)[^]

IF It is a remote computer you also need a application that will let you change registry

Best example of such kind of process is Client/Server Application. You can also do it using RPC
