Registry Keys to set Explorer settings

[GiJO]

I'm trying to setup a registry file that i can put a whole lot of tweaks in
and run it to set a whole lot settings automatically and also apply those
settings to any future user accounts that are created.

I created them all in the HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT hive, but they aren't applying
the the user that's logged in.

Another thing is when i apply them to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive most of
them apply. The only things i can't get to happen are displaying the Status
Bar in Windows Explorer (IE and Notepad work), and i also want to set the
view to Details in windows explorer for everyone but it's not happening.

Any idea's what i'm doing wrong? I thought for the folder views i had to
import the Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\BagMRU and the
Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\Bags key from a computer that has the
views i want (deleted all the stuff in those keys then reset the folder
views to the way i want then exported those keys). Doesn't work though.

For the Status Bar i have this "Show_StatusBar"="yes" and
"Show_ToolBar"="yes" set under the \Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Main but that's Internet Explorer... are these settings available
for just Explorer or should this filter across to windows explorer? It
doesn't...

Any help would be appreciated.

..default is the settings for when noone is logged in. You have to load =
the user's hive to make changes to another user (in this case Default =
User who is NOT .default). Doc & Settings\Default User\NTUSER.dat (see =
load hive in Regedit's help).

Saved folder settings are stored in BagMRU. Defaults and =
network/removable drives are stored in Streams key (as everything was in =
earlier versions)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Stre=
ams
setting=3D
is the global default
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Stre=
ams\Defaults
LongNumber=3D
Is the default for that object type.

{F3364BA0-65B9-11CE-A9BA-00AA004AE837} is ordinary folders, and other =
numbers are what ever they are (My Comp, Control Panel, etc - note My =
Docs is an ordinary folder)

The global and type defaults only exist if you do an apply to all. If =
you do an apply to all in My Comp then a default for My Comp objects =
(and the global default) is written.
