$Docs and Profile = USERNAME.COMPUTERNAME

[KNARZ]

hi guys....

got a problem...

of course... unattended...

$DOCS\USER1\ folder will copy correctly... with the files

with the First login... the Profil folder created a a new folder user1.computername

why?

Profiledir:

USER1

USER1.COMPUTERNAME

USER2

USER2.COMPUTERNAME

it's like crashing... windows: "before i do something wrong or will overwrite something ...than i will create a new folder"

**** it...

anyone can help me?

MCE 2005

something special... (but i don't think thats the reasen)

Normaly it's:

USER1\My Documents\

(i hope i translatet it right... because my folder is called "Eigene Dateien" (german))

but in mce it shows:

USER1\Documents from USER1\

IT SHOWS!... but i can access via USER1\My Documents\

- i delted thumb.db (because for the testinstall it is an image)

i know that this method works... i did it once before..

your problem is easy 2 fix

instead of having $docs, just make an SFX of all the files in your $docs folder & extract them @ T-12 or something, cuz the problem is that account is created & since windows doesnt wanna overwrite settings from the old account with a new 1, it creates a new account username.computername

i know what you mean and how do you mean it but... thats no real solution for me...

run something her... maybe somehting there..

i know that this workes... and that your method would be the easiest... but i want to use the normal method..

A user account is attached to a SID. If the SID of that user account does not match it will create a new directory. MCTs method should work for you...

thats the easiest way & it makes size smaller on your cd win win situation, faster time in txtsetup cuz u dont have 2 copy the files , i shaved like 5 mins off my setup time by running everything from cd

in short:

you have no solution to do it in that way that i wanna do... any hacked file... edit in hive or something

your suggestions are all right and good - but want it to create a cd easy a possible that everyone can understand whats happen...and its easier for someone to see files on cd which are later the same on hdd instead of... here theres a big exe...later we have all documents... - it's a bit of projekt for my school (exam).

when does $Docs run?

Let me break it down a little more for you. The only way you would be able to make it work the way you want it to is if you hacked the USERS hive of the registry to point the user you created to the profile you copied. I can recommend a great book to you... Windows XP Registry Guide by Jerry Honeycutt (http://www.honeycutt.com/)

Only 2 folders in $Docs. All Users and Default User. Nothing else, cause no other accounts exist during textmode. Windows will not overwrite profile folders for safety reasons.

These 2 folders should suit your needs.
