I haven't tried your tool on Vista yet, as I have as much as possible tried to avoid it (Vista) like the plague, but I think you guys might know the answer to something that's been bothering me..
(please see this usenet discussion) (in summary:) I have been manually migrating profiles for a while now, but it does not work with Vista. The symptoms are generally: IE Phishing Filter doesn't work Tools -> Internet Options broken in IE. Windows Defender broken Network Connections broken. and other problems. I am presuming there are some registry keys for which regedit hasn't been able to alter the ACLs. Can you tell me if that's the case? I preusme your tool worked fine on 2000/XP and when Vista came out you must've ran into the same problem? Thanks for writing such a great tool anyway. I've just forwarded a link to an IT manager that I deal with. Carl Edited by Carl Farrington - 05 Jul 2007 at 10:28am |

Hi Carl, There are is whole heap of reasons why just copying the profile may be a problem, but most likely the problems you are seeing are related to the additional security built into Vista. These include Internet Explorer Protected Mode and Registry virtualization. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/ie7protectedmode.mspx and http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb530198.aspx

Thanks for the advice :)
Whilst I really like your tool, I really do like understanding what's going on with things so I'd rather learn how to do it manually, and then use your tool for ease and simplicity, than just use your tool and not understand what's being done. Same goes for all these spyware removal tools that those friendly "post us your hijackthis logs" forum people tell users to run. Not many seem to know what the tool is actually doing. |
