Has anyone used Norton Ghost 7.5 when migrating from one domain to another? If so, when using the move the user function, what registry keys etc. do you "grab" when pulling the user profile in order to restore the wallpaper and application icons for profile specific applications?

The registry key that holds that info is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNTCurrentVersion\ProfileList
Under the profilelist folder will contain subfolders of users who have logged onto that pc and all their data (email settings, wallpaper, etc). The string profileimagepath is what you are looking for. The path is the only place you will see the user name.

If you had an existing user, then created a new user, but wanted the settings from the existing user, you would change the profileimagepath string. This string points to is the contents of c:\documents and settings\user_name. Not being familiar with ghost 7.5, I'm not sure this is what you're looking for...maybe someone else will come across this post.
