This section must stay in same file as [users] section. Specifying existing users in [users] section is btw. still possible.
    Usage:
    [Users.Operation]

    delete.1=ASPNET
    disable.0=Administrator
    disable.1=...
    rename.0=Administrator@Domain, TheMaster

  • Fixed minor bugs in user account settings

Date: 15.08.2004: Version 2.0.40.0

  • /users=<ini> is now defaulted to install.ini which means, install.ini should contain the [users] section in future. If /users=<ini> is specified, users are loaded from this file only!
  • WIHU Window is now resizeable
  • New [users] section keyword OldPassword.x
    To change password of an existing windows account you have to add this keyword and initialize it with the current password of the specified account. In case you want reset the old account password or to change this without knowing old password, just set OldPassword.x=*. In this case Password.x will be applied.
  • To delete an existing windows user account just create a new user.x and add 0x80000000 to it's status.x. Example:
    [users]
    user.0=ASPNET
    status.0=0x80000000


  • New Group.x behaviour:
    If corresponding user account does already exists then:
    Group.x=1 -> Move user to "Administrators" Group and remove it from "Users" group
    Group.x=0 -> Move user to "Users" Group and remove it from "Administrators" Group
    Group.x=2 -> Don't change Group
    Otherwise if corresponding account doesn't exists yet then:
    Group.x=1 -> Move new user to "Administrators" Group and remove it from "Users" group
    Group.x=0 -> Move new user to "Users" Group and remove it from "Administrators" Group
    Group.x=2 -> Don't add the user to any Group
  • Existing account vs new account:
    It's possible either to specify an existing windows account or to specify a new account that will be created by WIHU.
    1. The first case:
    You will not be able to change user profile settings like shellfolders or user environment with WIHU for this account.
    2. The second case:
    WIHU will disable this user later after modifying user profile.
  • /Beep=<seconds> switch is now available. This could be usefull for unattended windows installation to hint the user to enter WIHU settings before WIHU auto installation begins (/AutoInstall) or WIHU exits (/AutoExit).
