Wabaunza Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Is everyone creating the default user settings they want via registry tweaks then using the WSIM to copy the profile over to the default user? Is there another way of possibly creating the default user profile like in XP you could create the profile then copy it over to the $OEM$ folders area and it would just copy it over during the installation. Is there something similiar to this or a better way of creating the customized default user profile? Is it possible to do a vista installation then customize the profile and then capture the image with imagex, then use this new wim image in your unattend and then set the copy profile setting to true and accomplish the customized default user now?

jaws75 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) I modify the default by mounting the install.wim and then loading the default users part of the registry into my registry and modifying it there, then saving it back. Sounds complicated but is rather easy to do.read hereThe default users reg is located at %systemdrive%\Users\Default\ntuser.datAlways modify the registry with extreme caution.reg load HKLM\test D:\Vista\Build\mount\Users\Default\NTUSER.DATreg unload HKLM\test Edited August 31, 2007 by jaws75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razormoon Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) jaws75 Thanks for the great tip. It's just like mmc and secedit. Fantastic tip! Could be used in conjunction with above link! Edited September 1, 2007 by razormoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaws75 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 You don't even have to open your registry. You can do it all form a batch file.Mount the install.wimload the reg hive.execute a .reg file changing all entries from "[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT" to "[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\test"unload the hiveunmount the install.wimeasy as pie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
