Default User My Documents

This puts the My Documents icon on the desktop for any new users created on a computer. For most people, this is pretty useless. For a computer tech, this is useful for having consistent default settings, and doesn’t cause as many issues as copying an existing profile to the default profile.

1. Copy / Paste mydocsdeskall.bat into notepad and save as mydocsdeskall.bat
2. Copy / Paste mydocsdeskall.reg into notepad and save as mydocsdeskall.reg in the same directory as mydocsdeskall.bat

4. Take a break (you deserve it you 1337 reghacker)
