Notification Area is broken on first login
It turns out that it's in the default user's registry hive, just not the hive that everyone is familiar with. There is another smaller hive in a deeper subdirectory called UsrClass.dat
. The same keys are in there. We will be pushing this out to all of our computers, and modifying all of our WIM images:
reg load "HKU\temp" "%systemdrive%\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat"
reg delete "HKU\temp\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify" /v "IconStreams" /f
reg delete "HKU\temp\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify" /v "PastIconsStream" /f
reg unload "HKU\temp"
