Reset tattoo settings etc

U

Hi,

We have some XP machines which have been tattooed and we are looking at
sorting this..

We have discovered the secedit tool, but this only resets local policies,
not registry tweaks... I have also discovered the ntuser.dat file in the
default user folder seems to be modified. I have consequently deleted this
and now all new logins get a default ntuser.dat (Where is this generated and
is this a problem not having one in the default user folder?)..

Is there any other registry location where tweaks can be manually set such
as HKEY Local Machine, and if so how can I reset this, or view the tweaks
made easily?

Any help would be appreciated..

Tattooed ? - Not sure what that term means. It's also not clear to me
what you're trying to do ( Sorting This ). Are you trying to make these
machines compliant with company standards or just clean them up ?
