define status by Registry by xooops on 09-21-2006 at 07:28 PM

Hi

I try to define the status by changing the Registry by Script.

The Problem is that all status are under the user account

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\myname@mydomain.com\Preferences\PersonalStatus

is there a way to store these information under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\DefaultSettings\Preferences

??

thanks, xooops

No because users can have different settings.

You can store any settings under "DefaultSettings", but those settings will only be used when a new user signs in to Messenger.

At that point a new subkey will be created with that user account and if there are settings under "DefaultSettings", they will be ported to that new user account subkey.

The "DefaultSettings" subkey will not add, nor overwrite, settings in an existing user account subkey.
