How to set HKEY_CURRENT_USER for every user

S

sp

I would like to set key in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
for every user on the workstation. Users logs to domain on this
workstation but I wouldn’t like to do it via server like GPO, but
locally on the machine for every user that log to the workstation.

How to do it?

You could try copying it to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT. It would
probably affect every new user (but not existing users). Make sure
to create a restore point before you do this.

Are you sure? Somewhere I read that I should edit NTUSER.DAT from
Default User profile.

I'm not at all sure - that's why I wrote "proably". This sort of thing
is usually done with policies rather than with registry hacks.

ntuser.dat is the name of one of the registry files you edit
with regedit.exe.
