You can load the ntuser.dat to regedit.

Start retedit.exe. In Regedit, highlight the HKEY_USERS key, go to File,

Load Hive.

To read or edit ntuser.dat in a simpler way you can also download

the tool regeditpro

Hi Marc,

 

During the logon process, your workstation loads the HKU hive and then

applies the changes in the NTUSER.dat to that to make the HKCU hive that the

profile uses as its working copy. Changes that you make to the HKCU will be

saved in the NTUSER.dat and will affect just that user. Changes made to HKU

will affect all users logging into that machine.

 

Hope this helps.

I'm sorry but it doesn't work that way.

 

Are you talking about HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT ?

 

If so this is the hive that is loaded when no one is logged on.
