default user registry

[regisp]

hi gurus,

just starting today autoit and just one word to say : GREAT

How could have worked without it all these years ?

so enough congratulations, here is my problem.

I have made a win2k image with a lot of preinstall softwares.

These softwares parameters are pre-configured by me in the default user profile (in that way, each new user logging in the pc have the same pre configured applications).

Now time have passed and i need to make an update of these softwares. and so, i need to change registry settings for the current user (who is local admin) for the default user (for future pc user) and for people who have already an account on the pc.

generally, i use regedt32 and load the hive and import my registry settings but i'm looking for a much more smart way to make change to all these profiles and if possible without showing and reg editor to the end user.

take your marks -ready - steady - go

thanks in advance for all your valuable feedback and experience

hoping reading you soon

just thinking out loud: Couldn't you do a RunAsSet to the default user and have the script restart itself after which you work with the reg functions ?

there's no such thing as a 'default user' account.

The only way this is possible is using the method Larry described.

Tip:

If you work with Windows XP use the REG LOAD and REG UNLOAD commands.
