Default User and All Users in RIS

[timatlee]

Hello

I would like to add some start menu items, maybe some RunOne registry keys, enable the Quick Launch toolbar in the Taskbar, etc on a computer installed by RIS.

In some cases, the changes seem to apply to HKLM_CURRENT_USER - which is OK, but I would like these changes to be applied to all users (or at least when the profile is initially created).

Any suggestions or pointers on how I can achieve this? If I were using Sysprep, I'd make a profile with the changes I wanted, replace the default user profile with those changes, then reseal... but I'm not using sysprep

Thanks in advance.

Example Batch file to enable Auto-hide Taskbar for all new users:

REG LOAD HKU\TempHive "%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT"

REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects2" /v "Settings" /t REG_BINARY /d "28,00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,6b,00,00,00,22,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,de,02,00,00

,00,04,00,00,00,03,00,00" /f

REG UNLOAD HKU\TempHive

configure a user profile as you wish. copy the ntuser.dat from that profile to the RIS image creating the path below.

RISIMAGE\$OEM$\$docs\Default User

when a machine is RIS'd it will use this default user profile.
