Hi everyone. How can I change start menu button for all users ? without even ever been logged. Let me explain.

Code:
net user "User1" /add
net user "User2" /add
net user "User3" /add


with this commands I create 3 users in local users accout . I'am currently logged in as Administrator and I never login as User1,2 or 3. How can I change start button for all users ? I guess I need to modify the registry .


UPDATE: I found this registry and I customize it . Now how can I apply this to all users?

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-543895283-3741240661-2983116896-500\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu\Settings]
"MenuStyle"="Win7"
"Version"=dword:04000000
"StartButtonType"="CustomButton"
"SkinW7"="Classic Skin"
"SkinVariationW7"=""
"SkinOptionsW7"="C26EAF5D|5D3248DC|E87963C2|80316ABE|"
"StartButtonPath"="C:\\Windows\\startMenuButton.png"
"StartButtonSize"=dword:00000040


But "S-1-5-21-543895283-3741240661-2983116896-500" is different depending on user name. How can I generalize?

Look in the help file's Administrative Settings section. The key for All Users is HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu

If you place your registry values in HKLM\Software\IvoSoft\ClassicStartMenu then they will be applied to all users and will be locked.

If you don't want to lock the settings but simply modify the initial value, add "_Default" to the name of the value. For example:
Code:
"StartButtonType_Default"="CustomButton"
