Win XP Pro SP2/Ghost/Sysprep 2.0/Default Profile

[vijmat]

I am trying to make a build with Windows XP SP2 using Ghost 8.0. It seems like sysprep 2.0 is erasing all my default user settings.

I have reffered the Below Link and have all types of combinations.

I am not sure why my default settings get erased after Sysprep.

Please Help

Well, I am not 100% sure what you need here, but I have some ideas. I have done this with Windows 2003 Server. After you run the install or unattend, I would implement any security templates. Once those are done, then run hotfixes. After hotfixes and reboot, Go into HKLM in the registry and do a "Load Hive". When asked for location, choose "c:\Docs and Settings\Default user\NTUSER.DAT". name it Default. Now you should run some registry scripts to change the system environment variables for TEMP. I can look for them if you need them. Then go back to REGEDIT and do FILE > Unload Hive. Now go to your environment variables in system properties and make sure the TMP and TEMP variables are set to %SYSTEMROOT%\TEMP. If they are not, change them manually. This process should not allow you to get your default settings AND should allow all users to be able to use correct TEMP space. The TEMP stuff is mainly only if you utilize tight security like I do.
