Desktop Color

[jludt]

I have this registry tweak

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]
"Background"="255 0 0"

That sets the desktop color to red but I ONLY want it for the Administrator account which is the only account I create until AFTER the installation. So after my install I created a new account with power user privleges and logged in to find that the desktop color carries over to that account as well. How can I get around this?

currently that registry tweak resides in a file with other HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry tweaks that get run through cmdlines.txt which looks like

[COMMANDS]
	"regedit.exe /s hkcu.reg"
	"RunOnceEx.cmd"

the runonce contains some application installs as well as a second registry file where I incorporate a bunch of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE tweaks. Should that tweak to chagne the color go perhaps in that file so that it is executed at a later time and hence not gaining inheritence from teh administrator account? Any insight is appreciated thanks guys

Anything you apply to current_user at the svcpack.inf /cmdlines.txt, (T13), will apply to all users. Anything applied at guirunonce, runonce /runonceex etc., (First Logon), will apply only to your Administrator account.

Your answer therefore is yes, if you apply it at the later stage, it should not effect any other users desktop background colour.
