steve6375 Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 HiIt is my understanding that the .Default in XP is NOT where a newly created user will inherit from. This is held in the ntuser.dat reg file which is in each users Documents and Settings folder.To change this you need to load the HKU hive using reg.exe, then patch your values (either using regedt32 with the correct hivename in the keys, or using reg.exe ADD command lines) and then unload the hive using reg.exe again.If you do this on the 'Default User\ntuser.dat' file then any newly created user will inherit these settings.To set an html file as wallpaper, you also need to set the ShellState to enable viewhtml - but I haven't quite got this to work yet! The html does get set as the wallpaper, but for some reason it makes the screensaver screw up!HTHSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyntaxError Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 ;Set Default Theme All Users[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes]"InstallTheme"="c:\windows\Resources\Themes\royale.theme""InstallVisualStyle"="c:\windows\Resources\Themes\royale\royale.msstyles"This entry placed in my RegTweaks.reg file which is run from cmdlines.txt at T-12 works great for ALL users, admin and future accounts. And the wallpaper included with this theme is a .jpg. No conversion to .bmp is needed.EDIT: This seems to be one of the few tweaks that work when applied to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULTI've tried doing my entire regtweaks.reg file like this and it was a collosal failure.
