Exporting Windows Explorer settings earl_b 12/15/2008 6:21:01 PM I want to be able to capturer the windows explorer settings ( windows appearance/view, hidden or non hidden extensions, show hidden files or not, full path in the address bar etc....) I would like to be able to export these setting and apply to the/any new machine ( also xp pro) I sign on to. Is this possible and what key or keys would I need to export? Jeremy

In addition, some may require an account with administrator access. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est earl_b wrote: [Quoted Text] > I want to be able to capturer the windows explorer settings ( windows > appearance/view, hidden or non hidden extensions, show hidden files or not, > full path in the address bar etc....) > > I would like to be able to export these setting and apply to the/any new > machine ( also xp pro) I sign on to. > Is this possible and what key or keys would I need to export? > > Jeremy

Re: Exporting Windows Explorer settings earl_b 12/15/2008 6:44:02 PM Helllo Leonard, thanks for the feedback..... If given the ADMIN right was a non issue, meaning I have it on everything I login to and I narrowed the settings down to three. 1. File view ( Detained list ) 2. Extensions not Hidden 3. Show full path in address bar. Would the answer still be the are multiple keys in multiple locations, not possible? How many locations are we talking about? Given that they are not in one convenient location is not a show stopper for me. J.

Re: Exporting Windows Explorer settings Leonard Grey <l.grey[ at ]invalid.invalid> 12/15/2008 7:47:00 PM I do not know the specifics of those three items. However, I can make those adjustments manually very quickly, and frequently do. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est earl_b wrote: [Quoted Text] > Helllo Leonard, thanks for the feedback..... > If given the ADMIN right was a non issue, meaning I have it on everything I > login to and I narrowed the settings down to three. > 1.

RE: Exporting Windows Explorer settings earl_b 12/15/2008 8:19:03 PM Still looking to capture the registry locations for the following. 1. File view ( Detained list ) 2. Extensions not Hidden 3. Show full path in address bar. ( for those that want more explanation) I am using an application called flex profile to capture users settings and apply to them machines they sign on to, within the VM environment. Meaning, if I have 500 Virtual XP images a user may get another machine at every login, and may not want to set up the following views on every machine they use every time. If I can locate the registry locations, I can capture that and apply it at their login. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
