You can edit the user's registration form without logging in

The root key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] in the registry saves the user information of the currently logged in user. Generally, the configuration information related to the current user is modified under this key. If you want to modify the configuration information of other users in the registry, you must first log in with the corresponding user account, and then go to the registry root key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER] to modify it. If you want to modify the configuration information of multiple users, you have to log in once for each modification, which is very cumbersome. So is there a way to modify multiple other user configuration information under the current user? have! Next, I will introduce you to the specific modification method. The detailed steps are as follows:

Step 1: First, log in as a user account with administrator privileges, then open the Registry Editor and select the root key [HKEY_USERS]. Click the File menu and select Load hive.

Step 2: In the "Open File" dialog box, locate in the "X:\Documents and Settings\" directory. Among them, X represents the drive letter of the partition where the operating system is located, and username represents the user name of the account to be modified.

Step 3: Select the file and click the "Open" button. Enter a "project name" in the pop-up dialog box, for example, you can use the user name of the account you want to modify as the project name.

Step 4: At this time, under the root key [HKEY_USERS], a subkey named after the item name just entered will be generated. Now, you can make corresponding changes under this subkey.

Step 5: After the modification is completed, select the subkey that just generated, and select the "Uninstall hive" command in the "File" menu to uninstall it.

Note: Before logging in with the modified account, you must uninstall the already loaded subkeys, otherwise an error will occur when loading the user configuration file. This method applies to Windows XP.
