| I want all autorun entries that apply for all users moved to the autorun entries that apply for the different user accounts so that I can have full controll over which programs autostarts for every user.
(My ultimate purpose is that I want to completely strip one account (so that I only have a minimum of applications running) while all other accounts remain unchanged) |

| Use Xteg at www.xteg.com and it has a place where you can move the autorun registry key.

| The manual way. Hope it is complicated enough: 
The registry locations you want to look at are
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
for the currently logged on user
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
for applications that start for all users.
Export the LOCAL_MACHINE key to a reg file. Make a copy of this file to have a backup. Then right click the file, choose edit to open it in notepad. Click Replace in the Edit menu and replace
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE with HKEY_CURRENT_USER. Remove items you don't want to start for that user.
Now delete the subkeys of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and merge your new reg file to the registry.
Repeat the last step for each user. You must be logged on to the specific account to apply the changes.
If you want to change an account that has no privileges to change the registry, you must logon that specific user nevertheless and make the change from the administrator account. This only works if you have fast user switching enabled and instead of HKEY_CURRENT_USER your reg file must read HKEY_USERS\SID (replace SID with the appropriate security identifier for that account. You can find them in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList.
Note that you can't modify a user key of an user not currently logged in because the relevant hive is not loaded. To circumvent this (if you don't use fast user switching you'll have to do this) click HKEY_USERS, click File - Load Hive , navigate to the user profile and open ntuser.dat. Assign a name to the key and then you can modify the registry settings for this user. Unload the hive again when finished.

| It worked a little bit better with Q instead of G!!
Perhaps I should have noticed that by myself!
Well, well, thanks! |
