GreenMachine Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 In the registry, if you still use that, there is both "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" and "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders". One uses %USERPROFILE%, the other does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophyte Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Whilst you've been fairly clear on what files point to what parts of the registry etc, you haven't been as clear on just exactly what to edit/how to edit.For example, searching through the relevant hive file for the messenger service yielded no results, and was in fact, quite confusing. For the time being, I'll be sticking to my reg files.Unless of course, we can just simply append (to the bottom) the appropriate registry entries (in the correct manner) to the appropriate files, and leave it at that.

Marztabator Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 By the way, what's the difference between 0x00010001 and 0x00010003? AFAIK they are both related to DWORD, and some listings in the HIVE files use 1, and others use 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knewman01 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Numinous, I'm sorry if I'm hijacking your thread. Admins, feel free to move this post soemwhere else if need be...The problem I'm now having on my unattended is that my mian login is not admin. Therefore, when I do a guirunonce as admin, my really freakin huge regtweaks.reg fires off as it's supposd to, ad all is well with the admin user.Of course, once i login with my normal user account (which is an admin in my AD, not a local account), anything that was set in hkey_current_user is no longer applicable, since administrator is no longer the current user.Am I totally misreading what you said in your first post? Can I use a hive file to kick my reg tweaks that are in hkey_current_user into the registry as a default template for ALL users that login to the system?Or have I been drinking too much again?I'm very close to just slicing the reg file into two files and having one manually run from desktop after the install is done. If I can use hive files to do this, that would rock.Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
