Is it possible to replace ntuser.dat in Setup?

[Bachus]

I've been having a horrendous time ensuring that all of my registry tweaks work right and I'm finding that it is a losing battle so I'm going to try to come up with a workaround. I'm thinking that if I can tweak the registry exactly how I want it I can reuse the .dat files to replace the new ones created during Setup. Now that I think about it, though, the randomly generated SID will probably bring this plan to a screeching halt. So, has anyone tried this yet?

You mean make setup change the registry to how you want it but as if it was the default anyway.

I mean replace ntuser.dat (and the other file that makes up the registry whose name eludes me for the moment) with modified versions containing all of my registry tweaks. I'd try the same method as used for uxtheme.dll but I don't think it'll work as there really isn't a time that the registry files aren't being used by Windows.

i see what you mean now very good idea but sounds very hard to modify them.

Exactly, and that's why I'm asking for any possible help.
