Cheeze Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 if this isn't possible, how do i stop the explorer policies from loding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Not really sure I understand what you want or even why you want it. But....In the registry editor you can load an unload hives. Run REGEDIT > click on HKLM > File > Load Hive > browse to the NTUSER.DAT you want to edit. When it asks for a "key name" you can type anything you like... for eg. TEMP or TEMPUSERHIVE.Just load any .dat file, edit it to your likings and save it again by File > UNLOAD HIVE.'nuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeze Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 well what i want to do is make explorer load a different NTUSER.DAT but i've trues unloading the hive in REGEDIT and it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 The NTUSER.DAT contains the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hive. By loading another one you're effectively throwing all your settings out the door and loading another one. This cannot be done with Windows Explorer. Just log on as a different user.But from your post I have the impression you're in a corporate environment and the IT dept. have enforced policies and you're not happy with them... Am I right?

Cheeze Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 you are right about the policies, i am a school boy the school network have put ceratin policies, the only one i don't want it the one thats stopping me from right clicking! i found a way around it, but now they have fixed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enuffsaid Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) Nothing to be ashamed of, Cheeze. If I were at school, I'd do the same. And at my job I'm a domain admin for all EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Afrika) so no point in me hacking stuff. Let me get back to you on this. I may have some nifty tools that will assist you in your quest for a right click.Cheers and have a good weekend.Oh by the way... almost forgot. There's computer policies and user policies. If it's a computer policy there's no point in hacking the NTUSER.DAT. Edited February 9, 2007 by enuffsaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Cheeze, they have those policies enforced at your school for a reason. And Snuff'n'Stuff's "nifty tools" will likely result in you getting banned from the PCs or even expelled. I remember when I was in high school and someone got expelled for breaking computer policy just once. Keep yourself out of hot water and keep the right-clicking at home. I don't agree with the policy but its better to be safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enuffsaid Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) Jer or Jerry would be an abbreviation of your name just as 'nuff would be for mine.Snuff'n'stuff is just pure name calling. You're really showing your true colors here, Jeremy. Edited February 9, 2007 by enuffsaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
