Is it possible to burn a default user and password in a windows xpe
image and preset all desktop and other configuration settings? Is it
possible to copy all settings of the
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXX key, burn them
into a xpe image and use it on any deployment machine regardless of the
actual hardware IDs (as far as I know the SID depends on the actual
hardware)? The reason is that I want do a "Preconfigured User"
component and use it with my image, so that I can avoid any user
configuration afterwards. Or is there a better way to accomplish this?

Hello skagway095,

I think one way to accomplish it would be to use the .DEFAULT key in HKU to
set all the desired registry data for your user. You will have to make sure
that your component that contains all the .DEFAULT registry data is built
*after Win32API - User.

HTH,
Brad
