Home Articles Utilities Software Electronic Book |  | Desktop Configuration Before Logon To keep your desktop configuration consistent (for example, even before you logon) just copy the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Control Panel to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel So, if you have specified a different background color or disabled the mouse shadow it will take effect even before you logon. You won't have to start with the default settings and the settings will be consistent. Other settings should carry over also, such as screen savers.
