When Each User First Logs On

The following sections describe what is and what is not migrated when each user first logs on.

What Is Migrated

The following items are migrated the first time new users log in, if they select to migrate the .ini files and the .grp files. This per-user migration does not happen for the usernames Administrator, Guest, and System.

• The following sections and variables from the Win.ini file:

[Windows]

CursorBlinkRate

BorderWidth

ScreenSaveTimeOut

ScreenSaveActive

KeyboardSpeed

KeyboardDelay

Beep

SwapMouseButtons

DoubleClickSpeed

DoubleClickHeight

DoubleClickWidth

MouseThreshold1

MouseThreshold2

MouseSpeed

SnapToDefaultButton

Spooler

DeviceNotSelectedTimeout

TransmissionRetryTimeout

• The following sections from the Control.ini file:

[Color Schemes]

[Current]

[Custom Colors]

[Patterns]

[Screen Saver.Marquee]

[Screen Saver.Mystify]

[Screen Saver.Stars]

• The following section from the Winfile.ini file:

[Settings]

• The entire Viewer.ini file.

• The entire Ntbackup.ini file.

• The entire Clock.ini file.

• The entire Schdpl32.ini file.

• The following section from the System.ini file:

[Drivers]

What Is Not Migrated

• Persistent shares and users from Windows for Workgroups.

• Default domain and user ID from Windows for Workgroups or the Lanman.ini file.

• Per-user profiles maintained by the WINLOGIN add-on product for Windows for Workgroups.

• Any changes that users have made to their Accessories, Games, Main, and Startup groups in Windows 3.x. These groups are not migrated because their names match the names of 32-bit Windows NT Start menu groups.

• MS-DOS drive letters. If you have FAT partitions and HPFS or NTFS partitions on a computer that dual-boots MS-DOS and Windows NT, use Disk Administrator to assign drive letters to your non-FAT partitions. Begin with the first drive letter after the one that MS-DOS assigns to your last FAT partition. This ensures that the FAT partition drive letters are the same for both systems and that any migrated path names are valid.

• The options Auto Arrange, Minimize on Run, and Save Settings on Exit from the Progman.ini file.

• Font information for character-mode command windows.

• The Language and Keyboard settings in the International applications.

• The default screen saver (Scrnsave.exe) in the [BOOT] section of the System.ini file. 16-bit screen savers are ill-behaved under Windows NT.

• The [Settings] section from the Winfile.ini file.

• All 16-bit Windows 3.x Program Manager group files listed in the Progman.ini file. If a group name (contained in the group file, not the actual .grp filename) matches the name of a 32-bit Windows NT Personal or Common Start menu group, then that 16-bit group will not be migrated (for example, Accessories, Games, Main, and Startup). Each group is migrated "as is."

• The Country setting in the international applications.
