I liked this blog post. That’s something I had thought of trying earlier when I was thinking about registry keys and applying them via GPP vs other methods. For now I am applying a huge bunch of my registry keys via the default profile and if there’s any subsequent changes then I’ll push the change out via GPP (for existing users) and also modify the default profile (for new users). But the geeky method the author followed of loading each user’s NTUSER.DAT and modifying the registry key directly is fun and something I had considered. Only catch though is that this has to be done during a period no users are logged in. Coz of this I don’t think I’ll be trying this in my environment but I liked the idea.
