| As part of a customized XP CD install, I have added a line that adds a registry file containing HKCU entries. Yet these settings only seem to effect the .Default user, rather than all users by editing the Default User hive (and all users from there). How can I add registry entries during install that will take effect for all users using CMDLINES?
Here's CMDLINES, the first two commands are from Dell:
[code]
[Commands]
"rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\OEM.INF"
"cmd /c start /min cmd /c .\OEMLink.bat"
"REGEDT32.EXE /S Custom.reg"[/code]
And here is the Custom.reg file with the tweaks I want to install:
[code]
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager]
"WCreatedUser"="1"
"LMVersion"="103"
"LoadedBefore"="1"
"ThemeActive"="1"
"DllName"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,\
74,00,25,00,5c,00,52,00,65,00,73,00,6f,00,75,00,72,00,63,00,65,00,73,00,5c,\
00,54,00,68,00,65,00,6d,00,65,00,73,00,5c,00,52,00,6f,00,79,00,61,00,6c,00,\
65,00,5c,00,52,00,6f,00,79,00,61,00,6c,00,65,00,2e,00,6d,00,73,00,73,00,74,\
00,79,00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,00,00
"LastUserLangID"="1033"
"ColorName"="NormalColor"
"SizeName"="NormalSize"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CabinetState]
"Use Search Asst"="no"
[/code]
These seem to only then apply to .Default, which is the user in the registry that is used when no user is logged in. | | | |

| The default registry hive is located in C:\Documents and Settings\Default user\ntuser.dat. You have to load it as a registry hive. I've been doing this awhile using bat files with the commands:
REG LOAD "HKU\CUSTOM" "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\..\Default User\NTUSER.DAT"
Regedit /s regmerge.reg
REG UNLOAD "HKU\CUSTOM"
There was a post over at the Deployment Guys blog last week about this very task. They have scripts to use VBSCRIPT to do this. The funny thing is, I had JUST implemented this in VBSCRIPT myself the week before this post came out. I had to use vbscript to change a registry setting not just for the default user, but for every user profile that already existed on the systems. http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2008/06/06/useful-script-number-5-adjusting-the-default-user-registry-hive.aspx | | | |
