Edit Classes-Registry of other users

I know how to edit the registry of other users. I load the hive into regedit and than change the values I want.

reg load HKU\test C:\Users\TestUser\ntuser.dat

This is no problem at all. But I noticed that there are not all values displayed that would need to be in HKEY_Current_User

I want to edit the settings in HKEY_Current_User\SOFTWARE\Classes Everywhere in the internet it says that the ntuser.dat is the HKEY_CURRENT_USER key of the other user. But there is no "Classes" entry in that hive.

So how do I edit those settings using the Registry Editor? Or is there any other possible way?

Solution

  • I found the answer: The Classes Key is outsourced and can be found here:

    C:\Users\TestUser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat

    Where TestUser is the username of the user. Load and edit as descibed in the question.
