<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">So, if I package something and say to fill existing users, it will fill out whatever preferences to those existing users, and if I say fill the templates it will modify the template so every user created from there will get the same thing?<br>
<br>
I don't want it to copy that user account to the machine though, just those preferences to every existing and future user account on that machine.<br>
<br>
The documentation on this is a bit lacking, and if I choose the fill existing user it pushes out the settings for that local user account I used to create the package, which I don't want.<br>
<br>
Would I have to wild card this?<br>
<br>
thx<br>
