How can I load tweaks via reg hives?


Recommended Posts

I'd like to tweak a fresh OS install by copying/merging a reg hive. I know I can do so at the second stage of install, but at that point the HKCU keys don't exist yet, so while HKLM, HKCR type tweaks go into effect, HLCU ones do not. Can someone tell me how/when to best load HKCU tweaks using a reg hive?

I apologize if this is answered elsewhere. If so please point me in the right location. I did search, but didn't find reference to how to handle HKCU.

Cheers and Regards

actually there is no perfect way, sometimes some tweaks don't get applied especially HKCU because a current user must be loaded first. Then there's the keys have permissions set on them which you can use setacl to fix http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/tutorial-setting-permissions-on-a-registry-key?replies=8

If all else fails merge a reg after the user is loaded
