Update Registry for Current Logged on User

[Kevin Hyland]

Hi

BatchPatch has the option to show me the current user (Get Information > Get Logged on User)

Is it possible to extend this to show the SID of this user? And from there, can BP then give the option to update the registry of HKUSID of Current User

It’t not to do anything exciting – just preload additional languages which I can manually do using

psexec \computer$ -s reg add “HKU$currentusersidKeyboard LayoutPreload” /f /v 2 /t REG_SZ /d 00000491

psexec \Computer$ -s reg add “HKU$currentusersidKeyboard LayoutSubstitutes” /f /v 00000491 /t REG_SZ /d 00000809

Thank you for any assistance

Kevin

Hi Kevin – Thanks for the suggestion. We will consider this for a future build.

I’ve botched a DOS batch file which does the job – the coding is not tidy by a long way but it does the job! Just putting it here in case anybody else finds it useful.

@echo off

set uber=%1

set uSID= 

Set foobar=

for /F “tokens=1* skip=1” %%a IN (‘psloggedon \%uber% -l -x -nobanner’) do @set foobar=%%a

set foobar=%foobar:hiew2k=%

for /F “usebackq delims== skip=1” %%i in (psgetsid.exe \%uber% %foobar%) do @set uSID=%%i

psexec -nobanner -accepteula \%uber% -s reg add “HKU%uSID%Keyboard LayoutPreload” /f /v 2 /t REG_SZ /d 00000491

psexec -nobanner -accepteula \%uber% -s reg add “HKU%uSID%Keyboard LayoutSubstitutes” /f /v 00000491 /t REG_SZ /d 00000809
