How to customize the default user profile in Windows 7?

I changed all my preferences for how I want the start menu, background etc to look at, and I wish that every new user to have the same look. Can I change the default user profile?

Can of course. Try this:
1. turn your environment exactly as you wish.
2. restart the computer in Mode safe.
3. log on as an administrator.
4 rename the c:\Users\Default user c:\Users\Default User.org folder
5. rename the folder c:\Users\Phil c:\Users\Default user (assuming that "Phil" matches your profile folder).
6. give everyone read access to c:\Users\Default user
7. create a new account, and then sign under this account to test.

  • Customize the default user profile in Windows 7

    Hi all

    "With our XP pool view we could make all our customizations you made to the image of the master then go in" System Properties "->"Advanced"->"User profiles"and copy the profile of the user of the model in the folder"Default User"hidden under"C:\Documents and Settings"and all new domain users who have logged in our pool of non-persistent linked clone would get all the customizations... nice and easy.

    With Windows 7, the option to copy the profile is grayed out. To work around this problem, we found that we could use sysprep and that it points to a file with the option < CopyProfile > unattend.xml and need customizations, realize you the local administrator and copy them into the C:\Users\Default user profile. Here is the command that we would run

    C:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.exe/OOBE/redemarrer / generalize /unattend:c:\scripts\unattend.xml

    Subsequently he will reactivate the local administrator account, but it worked well... until we realized that we could only run sysprep about 3 times and then we would have a limit trying to rearm! Has anyone found an easy way to customize the default user profile without falling on these issues?

    We tried to make as many customization we can with group policy, but we seem to have hit a wall

    We use free software called DefProf made by ForensiT.

  • How to customize the default profile Win7

    Hello

    I was hoping someone could help me; I'm trying to customize my Windows 7 default profile.  The way I used to do in the past with WinXP was to:

    1. Create a local user account that have no administrator rights
    2. With this local user logon and tweak the desktop and applications like I wanted
    3. Reboot and a map than the machines of local disk to another computer
    4. Make a copy of the original default profile and name it "Profile by default (Original)"
    5. Copy the contents of the local user profile account I logged in earlier and paste it into the default user profile

    It worked like a charm and all connected users subsequently received the twisted user profile that I created.  With Windows 7, I use a lot of permission issues (even if I am logged in as a domain administrator or a Local administrator).  Also, I have granted local administrator rights 'Owner' on the default profile and it is still impossible to copy.  Unfortunately, I do not have a specific error.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated that makes me crazy.  It's something that I used to be able to do so simply with XP.

    Thanks in advance,

    Rob

  • How to customize the interface user OBIEE 11.1.1.9.0

    Hi all

    I was wondering how to customize the user of OBIEE 11.1.1.9.0 interface.

    For earlier versions, there was a guide to go to different folders by default and exemplary, adjust and modify your HTML, CSS, or XML files.

    I was reading the new style/skin of skyros, but I can't find a guide how to customize this skin and style.

    The 11.1.1.9.0 version of OBIEE isn't the same folder structure as the 11.1.1.7.xx version (where you set the fusionfx or blafp styles and skins), so I'm a little lost around that.

    So someone has more information about the customization of skyros /11.1.1.9.0 styles and skins?

    Thanks in advance!

    There is this new (I think) doc who can help: https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/11119/biee/BIESG/answersconfigset.htm#BIESG9198

    Hi Johnny,.

    Thanks for choosing Windows and thank you for providing an opportunity to help you.

    According to the description, you have problems with the restoration of the old user profile.

    1 have been connected as a standard user?

    2. What are thousands of files you're talking about if you want to have access to the temporary folder?

    This problem can occur because of corruption of the user profile.

    Method 1: delete the new NTUSER. DAT folder and check if it helps.

    Method 2: Perform the System Restore to an earlier date and check if it helps.

  • How to set up certificates for the default user profile

    I'm trying to create a package to install Firefox in our corporate environment that contains our locally-issued certificates. We can manually import the certs, but since Firefox is part of our brand, I would like to have the certificates already installed for users they open FF for the first time.

    I wrote a script that installs Firefox 22, copy custom files in the correct location files, creates a new profile folder (C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile) and copy the file cert8.db in that newly created file. However, when a user opens FF for the first time, none of our certificates are installed. If I close FF, copy the file cert8.db even in the .default file C:\Users\ < username > \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ < random string > and then reopen FF, CERT now show as installed upward.

    How can I automate this so that each user who opens FF will have implemented CERT?

    This is for the initial installation of Firefox.
    22 of Firefox, version 22.0.0.4917
    Windows 7, 64-bit

    Hello keslaa, since firefox 21 & upward this information would need to go to % ProgramFiles(x86) %\Mozilla Firefox\browser\defaults\profile in order to take effect.

    I wrote a longer version of the recommendation that Frederik Long has given you and then deleted because I'm not sure that I fully understand your situation.

    If you can get into Windows, then follow the advice of Frederik long.

    If you are unable to Windows, what do you see when you start the computer?  In other words, don't you see the Welcome screen with one or more of the icons for user accounts?  If there is only one icon and it's a 'completely different' user name this is the old name you deleted?  If not, what is?

    Hello

    I would like to know if its possible to set up Windows so remote desktop if a user is already connected to a particular computer and another user attempts to connect, an error message appears on the screen saying a user is already logged on.

    I can limit the number of connections to 1 through:

    However, with this option, the error message that appears on the screen is as follows:

    "This computer can't connect to the remote computer, try again or contact your network administrator.
