Topic: implementing in sme the use of desktop.ini

[Tigz]

i have the question in my mind about how to implement the desktop.ini file so that it loads your windows settings as you move around on a roaming profile.

even better if i could get it to work on both xp and 2k clients

any idea's on this?

correct me if im wrong, but the profile is stored in the NTUSER.DAT, basically loading the HKCU for that user.

the desktop.ini that shows shouldn't have anything to do with it.

i dont know if thats true as far as i know its only the binary for registry, their are other files that are associated with a roaming profile and the desktop.ini file does the following so i dont see why it can not be in a roaming profile as well

Using Desktop.ini Files
Folders are normally displayed with the standard folder icon. The most common use of the Desktop.ini file is to assign a custom icon to a folder. This icon will be displayed in Classic style as well as Web style, and it will appear next to the folder's name anywhere the name appears. You can also use Desktop.ini to create an infotip that displays information about the folder and controls some aspects of the folder's behavior, such as whether it can be shared.
