You should be able to load this into a hive with regedt32. I've done
this before when I've removed/chaged a policy template and couldn't get
at the settings.

is it possible to just edit the NTUSER.dat file?  All I am trying to do
is tweak the template user for mandatory profiles.

Greg,

   Here's an example from a similar question asked yesterday about
distributing changes to every user:

-----------------------------------------

Here's one way [using regini]; this will run when any
user logs in.

- Insert a call statement into UsrLogn2.cmd [in %systemroot%\system32]

Call "C:\winnt\application compatibility scripts\logon\myscript.cmd"

- Inside the script, make a call to import the registry info:

regini "C:\WINNT\Application Compatibility
Scripts\Logon\Template\myregistryhack.key" 1>Nul:

- Inside the .key file, make your change:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\office\9.0\outlook\security
   OutlookSecureTempFolder = REG_EXPAND_SZ %homedrive%

For a good article, see

Let me know if you have any questions.


Scott

that makes sense but I have no idea how to do it.  How do I create a
file and how do I import it with regedit and call it form usrlogn2?

You could create file with the desired settings and import it with
regedit or regini [the formats differ slightly] and call it from part of
UsrLogn2.cmd.

I used the tn.adm policy from the thinnet to set the user shell folders
via policy for my users.

In Windows 2000 the GPO will not let me use that ADM file.  Does anyone
know of another way I can set that value?  Is there a way to make my own
GPO templates?

I am also trying to find a way to put the "NT Security" icon back in the
start menu.  It seems to have been moved to the Settings folder.

I have no problem doing it with a registry trick at logon but I don't
have a clue where to begin.

Thanks!

Greg
