Windows Forum / Windows 95 / April 2004How to programmatically create user profile on Win9x??
Hi, I need the ability to create a user profile on Windows 9x (<windir>\Profiles\<user>) On NT plateforms, I use the LoadUserProfile api and if that particular user profile does not exist on disk, it is created. I can then load the user's hive and apply some changes to it. On 98, when adding a new user using the UI (Add User wizard), it creates the user profile on disk. That's what I want to do programmatically! I would really appreciate if anyone can give me a tip on this... Thanks! Homework project?

Hi Noel, What kind of a question is this? I don't get it, what makes my question sounds <homework>? :-) Look at KB 196070 ("HOWTO: Programmatically Cause the Creation of a User's Profile") and this is the answer to my question, but on NT plateforms only. I need to do this on win9x also... Thanks in advance for any info! Frank p.s.: to answer your question, no, this is not an Homework project ;-) I actually get paid to post these silly questions. > Homework project? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > > > Thanks!

Well, I guess you wouldn't get paid anyway for MY question! :-) You don't have any info/hints for me on this?? Should I just go ahead and build this user folder structure manually (create dirs, etc...) plus a few registry entries (I've been spying the api used by the wizard)? I wish I could get an "official" way to do this instead of just hacking around until it works or seems to... Thanks, > I wish I got paid to answer them! AFAIK, there's no 'easy' way to do this - you might want to have a browse around in TechNet and see if there's anything there http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?InCC_hdn=true&Catalog=LCID%3D10 33%26CDID%3DEN-US-KB%26PRODLISTSRC%3DON&withinResults=&QuerySource=gASr_Query&Pr oduct=w98&Queryc=create+user+profile&Query=create+user+profile&KeywordType=ALL&m axResults=25&Titles=false&numDays=&InCC=on should be a reasonable kick-off point HTH SignatureNoel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's > Well, I guess you wouldn't get paid anyway for MY question! :-) > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > I wish I got paid to answer them! Hi Noel, I had already browse this stuff to death before going for the newsgroups... I know pretty much everything there is to do with user profiles now...eeee except creating them on 9x of course :-) Anyway, I really wanted to thank you for the time you took to answer my messages, Thanks! Keep up the good work and *free* support! > AFAIK, there's no 'easy' way to do this - you might want to have a browse > around in TechNet and see if there's anything there [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > > > NG's I had a nasty feeling that would be the response!<g> All I can do is wish you good luck in your search.

Rick if you want to pay me to write one for you, now that's different ;) |
