that's ok... i'll just use "%systemdrive%\documents and settings\default
user"
so all the reg tweaks which are for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER i should put in
the file to be imported into the default user's ntuser.dat, and all the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE can stay the same?
this is what i have, a file called hkutwks.reg which currently hold all the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys. I'll go through that and replace that with
HKEY_USERS\NTUSER. I have another file called hklmtwks.reg which has all the
current HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE keys in it which i will leave as they are.
I've got a batch file which has this in it.
reg load hku\ntuser "%systemdrive%\documents and settings\default
user\ntuser.dat"
reg import %systemdrive%\install\hkutwks.reg
reg unload hku\ntuser
REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\hklmtwks.reg
This will load the default user's ntuser.dat, import the HKEY_USERS tweaks
into it, unload the default user's ntuser.dat and then load the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE tweaks into the normal registry.
Thanks for your help... now to test it all properly!
