How to find registry hive for current user

[andreamoro]

Some registry settings can be made only knowing the registry hive of the current user. Unfortunately the GUID it's not a standard, so the question is. How can I get the guid number during the App install (last part of unattended cd) and use to supply registry modification?

Can you not simply make your modifications to HKEY_CURRENT_USER (HKCU)

<Edit>

If you have used a registry monitoring program, and your resultant reg file has many references to something similar to HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1215551440-2146636555-83645543-500, that is the SID number which as you say, is not standard (i.e. changes for every user and install)

All you need to do is a search and replace routine in your editor and replace all occurrences of that with HKEY_CURRENT_USER

Don't forget that you have to import regtweaks at T-12 if you want them to be applied to ALL users!
