Hi Al,

I have tried to apply some registry settings to NTuser.dat of the User Profile but when new users logs into the machine, these registry changes are not applied. Anyone is facing the same problem? Thanx

This is how I do it.:
  • Load the NTUser.dat of Default User Profile as [HKEY_USERSDuser] in REGEDIT.exe
  • Apply the registry changes
  • Unload the NTUser.dat
Attached is the registry keys applied:

Attached File(s)

What most people do is they customize the profile they want to use, then they log out and copy there ntuser.dat to the default user. If the settings are not being applied, it means these users already have a profile. Windows only copies over the ntuser.dat file if the user has no profile. And of course if theyre using roaming profile windows will use the ntuser.dat located in the sysvol folder instead of the default user profile.
