ntuser.dat under the Default User. They also, for some reason I don't
understand modify HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT. This is acutally the registry
settings for the Local System account and not the default user, yes the name
is confusing, but I don't know why any of those settings would need to be
modified. I've edited my %winver%-notips.pl files to only edit the current
user and the default user hive and not the local system account. Oh and
they make some changes to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
This is the default:
# Setup keys for per-user
foreach my $reg_key ($cuser_key, $defuser_key, $ntuser_key) {
This is what I changed to:
# Setup keys for per-user
foreach my $reg_key ($cuser_key, $ntuser_key) {
I also broke mine out into separate files for some different programs that
are the same across different versions of Windows. This way I don't have to
maintain 2 or 3 HUGE files, those program settings aren't going to change
with different versions of Windows. I just call those scripts from one of
my batch files.
Example:
todo.pl program-settings.pl
todo.pl program-installation.pl
So the program is installed, then the default settings are applied.
Also, note that you could use group policy to make most changes also, but it
all depends on your environment.
