SYMPTOMS
When you specify a configuration preference on a computer running Windows
NT, the setting may not be applied to other users or to new users who log
on to the computer.
CAUSE
Some configuration preferences in Windows NT are stored on a per-user
basis in the user's profile.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:
- Log on as each user and specify the configuration preference
individually for that user.
- Copy a configured user profile to the default user profile, so that new
users automatically receive the configuration preference the first time
they log on.
MORE INFORMATION
Some commonly used configuration preferences stored on a per-user basis
include:
- User-definable settings for Windows NT Explorer.
- Persistent network connections and network printer connections.
- User-definable settings for Control Panel such as regional settings,
preferred server, open database connectivity, and other settings.
- User-definable taskbar settings, personal program groups and program
items, and their properties.
- User-specific settings for accessories such as Calculator, Clock,
Notepad, Paint, HyperTerminal, and other accessories.
- Personal folders for each user's Start Menu, Desktop, Favorites, and
other folders.
