9. Empty the recycle bin and clear any documents from the Taskbar.
10.Log off the sandbox. This saves the updated desktop to the user-account
home directory.
11.Create a new directory in the
\WIN32APP\DESKTOP\WINNT directory for Windows
NT desktops or in the \WIN32APP\DESKTOP\WIN9X
directory for Windows 9X desktops. This location is where you will store
your new desktop. For example, to create a subdirectory for your desktop
in the WINNT directory, change to the WINNT directory and type:
MD NEWDESK
12.Change to the home directory of the user account you created.
13.Change to the PROFILES.W95 subdirectory for Windows 9X desktops or
the PROFILES subdirectory for Windows NT desktops. These are hidden
subdirectories. You can use the DIR /AH commandtodisplaythe
directories. Copy the contents of the subdirectory to the new subdirectory
you created in step 7. For example, to copy the contents of a Windows NT
desktop to a new directory that is named NEWDESK, at a command
prompt, type:
XCOPY *.* X:\IBMLAN\DCDB\WIN32APP\DESKTOP\WIN9X\NEWDESK /S /E /T /H
14.You can now assign the new desktop to other user accounts.
6.3.3 Changing the appearance of an existing desktop
Changing the appearance of an existing desktop is very similar to creating a
new desktop. With a new desktop you are starting with a system default.
Now, you are starting with an initial desktop. To change an existing desktop,
do the following:
1. Log on to the primary domain controller as an administrator. Create a user
with administrator authority and assign the user a home directory.
2. Assign the desktop you are changing to the user account you created. To
assign a desktop to the user account, at a command prompt, type:
NETWIN USER username /DESKTOP:desktop_name /TYPE:WIN9X or WINNT
(desktop_namerepresents the name of the subdirectory in the
\WIN32APP\DESKTOP\WINNT directory or the
\WIN32APP\DESKTOP\WIN9X directory where the
desktop resides. You can also specify a fully qualified path to the desktop
subdirectory.)
3. Change to the home directory assigned to the user account you created
above.
