Professor Frink Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 There are a lot of Reg tweaks that I use for my XP unattended install -- some of which I found right here, thanks guys! But many of them are the "CURRENT_USER" variety, such as unlocking the taskbar, changing the power settings, etc. So if I run them during the installation, the tweaks are all applied to the local administrator account, naturally. But is there any way that I can make them apply to all users?The only option I can think of is listing them all in a .reg file and storing it in the WINNT folder. Then, when the user logs on and I set them up (printers, e-mail, and so on), I just run that .reg file and apply all those changes. Not a terrible solution, but I'd like something even easier. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eirogge Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 as described in unattended.msfn.org execute your regfile via cmdlines.txt as this is the only possibility to apply hkey_current_user settings to all created users after this point of the installation.for further information check the official guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 this might be a hard solution but u can put them into hive*.inf's or as gosh suggested many times u can refer to his webpage and install those regs through infs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Frink Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 I did some more in-depth reading of the boards, and tried the cmdlines.txt route (which I never did before). And I'll be damned if it didn't work!Thanks everyone, this board is an absolute Godsend!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraith Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I've been thinking of testing XPlode's registry execution capabilities as running under a different user... will get back to you all on that. Might make a standalone app for people that don't want to use XPlode... if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Okay, just did a test, it can import registry settings to a user on the system, even if it isn't logged in as that user.I might make a standalone exe in a few mins... Probably something like this:regimport.exe /user:Spike /pass:swordfish /file:registry.regEDIT:RegImport Thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=16727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordmontie Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 You could also load the Default User NTUSER.DAT file like I did below to the "HKEY_USERS\.Default_User" location or any location you choose and run your HKCU registry tweaks to that location along with the HKCU. My regtweaks.cmd file below makes a backup of the DAT file then loads the DAT and runs the regtweaks.reg file. Lastly you unload the DAT file.regtweaks.cmd%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\cmdow.exe @ /HID@echo offattrib -H "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT"copy "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT.BAK"attrib +H "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT"attrib +H "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT.BAK"REG LOAD HKEY_USERS\.Default_User "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\Default User\NTUSER.DAT"REGEDIT /S %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\regtweaks.regREG UNLOAD HKEY_USERS\.Default_UserEXIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
