Registry question

TechMage · 06-10-2003, 03:41 PM

Does anyone know how to translate the user jargon that appears under HK_USERS\?

Examples are .DEFAULT (which is what created users get)?
Mostly they look like S-#-#-##-##########-######### blah blah blah where the #'s represent integers.

IIRC, it's the user's unique ID for their account. The .DEFAULT key is the default settings for newly created user accounts.

Yeah, I ended up writing a subroutine to loop through the registry under HK_Users until it found the user login id I was looking for. Parced the path into the string and pulled out the 2nd set of \ \ separators. Thanks though.
