Where does HKEY_CURRENT_USER get default settings for new profiles

Question

_{Saturday, November 17, 2018 12:01 AM}

Looking for a registry key that contains all keys that get copied to HKEY_CURRENT_USER when user logs in to the system for the 1st time.

Is it one of the S-1-5- keys or .DEFAULT under HKEY_USERS ?

Thank you

Hi,

The default settings are stored in the ntuser.dat file which can be found under C:\Users\Default.

You can check the blog post below on how to set default user profile registry settings:
