Hi Greg,
Windows Server 2003 supports per-user file associations reasonably well.
However a consequence of that is that the HKCU\Software\Classes key will
grow considerably. However the good news is that 2003 doesn't have the same
registry size limitations as NT 4.0/win2k so it's something you can live
with.
Regards,
Rick

It actually got larger when I did this. Went from 1MB to 1.6MB. I have
always tried to keep the total size of my profiles to under a mb. Maybe
that is not going to be possible in Windows 2003. Oh Well. no big deal.
Thanks!
Greg

Greg -
I wondered the same thing.
Not an answer to your question (see below for that!) but I use a couple of
programs after I build a server to clean up the registry. NTREGOPT and
PAGEDFRG. Should be able to find them on the web, and if you are like me
and like to have these things nice and clean, these work rather well.
For your problem, this is what I do. Merely run regedt32, load the hive,
then save it (or export it, not sure which I did.) I did this on NT where I
think the default (save key) worked, or I may have exported it from REGEDIT
or regedt32 (going from memory here!) Then I just renamed the saved file to
NTUSER.DAT and it became the basis for my template profile. It also was
nice and compact compared to the original, which I had cleaned a bunch of
garbage out of.

Does anyone know of a utility I can use to cleanup/defragment a users
ntuser.dat file?
Some of my roaming profiles are getting a little pudgy in this area.
Thanks!
Greg
