AndreK Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I think you mean to set the registry settings for any user yet to be created? Or do you want to set more things as default?Give some more info please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazung-Q Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 it doesn't work via the $oem$ folders. I've tried that. I've worked around it:in my cleanup.cmd file (or whatever you use, simple one of the last step before installation is complete):REM copy the default user profileSET docsdir=%homedrive%\Documents and SettingsREM unhide default user dirATTRIB -h "%docsdir%\Default User"RENAME "%docsdir%\Default User" "Default User Old"REM rehide dirATTRIB +h "%docsdir%\Default User Old"XCOPY /Y /E /H /I "%CDROM%\apps\Default user" "%docsdir%\Default User"ATTRIB +h "%docsdir%\Default User" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
