Textpad Registry settings not available for all the users

[venkat1978]

Hi all,

I create my own wrapper for Textpad Using WISE installation script as it is a customized installation on servers for looking the rights and logging while installaion of any components on our servers. We have certain file associations and default settings as per our customer requirement , i set them in the TextPad and exported them as a registry file , used these registry files in the Script and executed them using Regedit exe with silent switch.

My issue is i am able to see these settings for the user from where it is executed all other users of the same system are not able to see these settings.

My settings are kept under these keys


HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Helios\TextPad 4

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 4

from two different Registry files.

I want to see the Settings for all the users if set through a user of the system in the registry.

This is a one time installation for me.

Kindly advice me.

Thanks in advance

AFAIK that's not possible. Settings stored in HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT are only applied when a new user account is created, it's ignored for existing users.

Maybe you could modify the registry from a script that runs after a user logs on. Ofcourse the script should only run once for each user, otherwise it would overwrite any setting that a user changes himself.
