Newbie Q: Changing default HKEY_USERS values

[JPamplin]

Folks,

I've been revising my unattended CD for weeks, adding invaluable features mentioned here at MSFN - so thanks for everyone's input.

I'm hitting a wall on alot of registry tweaks I'm trying to find and apply to my setup. I use RegShot to determine all registry changes for every setting I do to a clean XP build, and alot of them are coming back as changes to the HKEY_USERS area of the registry, instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

The problem is that there seems to be a random number generated in the HKEY_USERS area which makes the address for these types of changes different for every build. When I see this section, most changes are in:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2052111302-152049171-1060284298-1003

and this number changes every time I do a clean build. Further, I've tried making changes to the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT folder set, and they don't seem to work.

Can anyone tell me how I can get around this, and apply settings to the default user profile?

Thanks in advance,

JP
