Users Key

Underneath the Users key is a list of computers that have entries in the policy file. The steps to use in locating a Users key follow:

  1. Determine whether there is a key that is the same as the user name. If there is one, merge the registry image beneath it into the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key.
  2. If the key is not there, determine whether there is a key called ".default". This appears in the System Policy Editor user interface as Default User. If a default key exists, merge the registry image beneath it.
  3. If neither of the two steps work, do nothing.
