UserProfiles - Inheritance from HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT

[Grabher Günter]

Hi,

I was not satisfied with the possibilites of the user interface core
component. So I additionally made several changes to HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT
with self created components. In order to let inheritance work I forced a
build order before the administrator account and user account components.

Some settings inherit to the admin and all user profiles as for example:

HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/Wallpaper
HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Enabl
eAutoTray
HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Advan
ced/StartMenuAdminTools

Some don't like:

HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/WebVi
ew/BarricadedFolders/shell:ControlPanelFolder
....FontSmoothing
....PerformanceSettings
....FolderOptions

I think that the settings of my components are getting re-written by some
other components during the build process.

How can I locate these re-writers and their build order to change the build
order of my components correctly?
What can I do if the overwriter is the user interface core component or the
administrator or user account?

Regards,
Günter

Grabher,

When you edit your SLD's component using CD, check Build Order Dependency node. Add their XPe components you want to be built BEFORE
(or AFTER) your component.
I don't know any good way to search in XPe database for a component with a specific registry values. Sometimes CMI Explorer helps,
though.
