Fact:
[HKEY_USERS] keep the user registry of all user who have a profile on the computer.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER] keep the registry of the profile currently load. (So technially, a branch of [HKEY_USERS] )
Problem :
I need to upgrade a registry key on all the profile currently on the machine. That mean a problem that will update [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT] and all [HKEY_USERS\****] profile locally!
Solution :
???
what about a wsh script using a for ... each loop, getting one user at time?
SDK:
Caca's solution might work but what might be safer is adding a login script that executes a .reg file and write a txt. file to the user folders.
The script can look for the text file in the logging in user's folders. If it isn't there execute the reg file, write the user name to a central log file and then write the txt file to the users folder to indicate that it was done and can be skipped.
Then when you have all your users listed in the log file you can remove the script.
It should work perfectly.... he says.... hopefully.... ;)
Tiger : That an Easy solution!
cacosapo : Can you find me a link about that info? I'm not use to WSH.
I know there a way to change a registry for all that for all user including default one. I use "Custom Maintenance Wizard" from Office Xp Ressource Kit to change all the setting of my user all month but doesn't seem to work for that I want now. The keys that I need to customize are in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International
Sorry, didn't realize you were looking to do it the hard way..... ;)Quote:

I prefer to apply a "patch" to all computer and BAMM!, it's done and I forget it about it! ;)
Anyone?
Write a program that builds the .reg file dynamically on login and put the program's path into hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run ? Not too hard.
