DeleteOnCopy / PersonalizedName query...

[mrjrt]

I've fixed most of my issues with my custom XP disc, but have one (seemingly) last one...the Desktop.ini files in my customised default user profile.

I've renamed some shell folders, and this is all fine - but when my default user profile is copied for a new user, the DeleteOnCopy section is obviously recreated with the new user's name, but always with the default folder name, not my chosen renamed value. Everything else is fine, it's just the new user profiles that aren't correct.

i.e.

[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=@Shell32.dll,-12688
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\mydocs.dll
IconIndex=-101
[DeleteOnCopy]
Personalized=39
PersonalizedName=Pictures

...becomes...

[DeleteOnCopy]
Personalized=39
PersonalizedName=My Pictures
Owner=NewUser
[.ShellClassInfo]
InfoTip=@Shell32.dll,-12688
IconFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\mydocs.dll
IconIndex=-101

When searching, I came across this thread, which gives me a potential solution of sorts (i.e. omit the DeleteOnCopy section so one isn't created in new profiles, then add it in manually using runonce), but I'd like to throw it out there to see if there's another, better, way to achieve a customer value in new PersonalizedName values?
