When Each User First Logs On
What Is Not Migrated
The following items are 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 the user has made to his or her 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 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.
What Is Migrated
The following items are migrated the first time each new user logs in, if he selects to migrate the .INI files and the .GRP files. This per-user migration does not happen for the usernames Administrator, Guest, and System.
